The answer

If a mother is married to a wealthy man, her maintenance is obligatory upon him, and her children are not obligated to spend on her unless she is in need. If she is self-sufficient due to her husband, her children are not obligated to spend on her, and her supplication against them for their refusal to spend in this situation will not harm them. Nevertheless, it is obligatory to honor the mother, treat her with kindness, and gently apologize to her. If they give her money that does not harm them, it is better, because the mother's right is great, and honoring her is among the deeds most beloved to Allah.
