If the brother who is invited is wealthy and what he receives from his father's spending is sufficient to cover his essential needs, then it is not permissible to give him and expiation, because they are not permissible for the wealthy. As for charity (), there is no objection to giving it to him, even if he is wealthy. However, if he does not find what is sufficient to cover his basic needs, then he is considered poor, and it is permissible to give him zakat and expiation.
