Spending on children

Contents > Social Life in Islam > Spending on children

an-Nafaqah ala al-I'yaal - You must maintain your children. You are obliged to spend on your children from your wealth. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger (saw) said,

"The best alms is that which you give when you are rich, and you should start first to support your dependants." Saheeh al-Bukhari

It is narrated by 'Aisha that Hind bint 'Utbah said,

"O Allah's Apostle! Abu Sufyan (ra) is a miser and he does not give me what is sufficient for me and my children. Can I take of his property without his knowledge?" The Prophet said, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children, and the amount should be just and reasonable.” Saheeh al-Bukhari

And the Prophet (saw) said,

“The best of the dinar is that which a man spends on his children …” Saheeh al-Muslim
