The answer

The parents' sustenance is not obligatory if they are not poor. However, it is desirable to maintain ties with them through money, even if they are not in need. It is not necessary to take a loan to save for them, especially if it will cause harm or hardship. It is better to maintain ties with them within the daughter's means, without difficulty. Taking an interest-bearing loan is forbidden.
