Q: I am a Muslim woman who is working and married. My parents have a low financial condition for which I support them even after marriage. I give 30% of my salary to my parents and 70% to my husband. But my husband is now restricting me from giving money to my parents even after knowing their financial condition. What should I do?

My husband wants me to invest my salary in some good schemes so that it will be beneficial for me and my husband in the future. Whom should I listen to because not giving money to my parents will cause them great difficulty in surviving. Would using that money in increasing my wealth be a sin or not?
