Can question number 2136130 be answered again, taking into account the specifics and details of the case, to clarify the ruling of Sharia clearly?
Scholars have unanimously agreed on the obligation of maintaining needy parents by their affluent children. Maintenance is incumbent upon those who are able, each according to their means and capacity, for Allah Almighty says: "Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him." One should compete and hasten in this, as it is among good deeds, and the maintenance can be provided as food or money.
Islamic law encourages reciprocating kindness and a man gifting his mother, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give gifts and you will love each other," and he also said: "Whoever does you a kindness, then repay him." The wife should be an aid to her husband in obedience, performing good deeds, and maintaining kinship ties, especially in honoring his mother and providing for her if she is in need, for Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
