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?
A: It is impermissible for him to make these type of demands. In fact, it is totally wrong of him to ask you to give him 70 percent. He should make taubah from this and abstain from this extortion.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
