Is it permissible for an applicant to receive financial support from their family and live with them, or is it not obligatory? And is it right for them to share accommodation with colleagues for work, study, and financial independence, in order to preserve their dignity?

Scholars have differed regarding the ruling on a father's expenditure on his adult son. We have favored its obligation if the son is poor and unable to earn. If your family is content to spend on you, there is no harm in benefiting from their expenditure and remaining in their home. If you wish to live away from them, an adult is in control of his own affairs, so you may reside with your colleagues and share in the house rent, while making sure to visit and communicate with your family.
