Is a married woman responsible for her parents?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is obligated to obey, honor, and be kind to her parents both before and after marriage. If they are in need of service, then it is obligatory for them [their children] to serve them—both males and females. If they have no one but a married daughter, then she is obligated to serve them with her husband's permission; otherwise, obedience to him takes precedence. And if they are in need of financial support and the daughter has wealth, then it is obligatory for her to spend on them.
