Does the family have the right to demand that the father, who works as a builder for his brothers without pay, receive payment for his work to meet the family's needs?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

He must fear Allah concerning those whose financial support is obligatory upon him and provide them with their sufficient needs; otherwise, he is sinful.
