Is it permissible for a father to take from the wealth of his minor children to cover the expenses of his second marriage, which he deems to be in the interest of caring for the children and the household?
It is permissible for a father who needs to marry but cannot afford the expenses to take from his children's money according to his need. This is because marrying off a needy father is an obligation upon his well-off children, even if they are young and not yet بالغين (of age), as financial support (nafqa) is a financial right. The financial support is distributed among the well-off children according to their financial capacity.
