Is it permissible for a young married man working abroad, who, along with his father, provides for the household, to save a portion of his salary for himself, even if that displeases his family?
The questioner is obligated to spend on his wife and children, and on his poor parents. After this expenditure, he is permitted to save money without informing his parents. A father's disposal of his son's money is permissible, provided that it does not harm the son or take what he needs, and that he does not give it to another except with the owner's willing consent. Spending on family members when not obligatory is considered charity and maintaining kinship ties, and it holds great virtue. It is advisable to combine this with saving for oneself and one's children.
