Is it permissible for a father to squander his money on corruption and amusement, without providing for his family, and is he free to do as he pleases with his possessions?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The father erred by squandering money on frivolous pursuits, whereas his duty is to uphold the boundaries set by his Lord and be a good role model for his children. Your duty is to advise him and guide him towards the truth, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire."
