The father's right is great, especially in old age. It is obligatory to honor him, obey him, and not forget his favor. Spending on a poor, needy father is obligatory by the consensus of scholars. If he is not needy, then spending on him is not obligatory, but it is obligatory to maintain ties with him and treat him kindly. Helping the father with marriage and spending on his new wife is a righteous deed and does not contradict the love for the deceased mother.
