Q: Is it a sin on the part of a man not to provide his wife and family with their basic needs including food, clothing, self-care etc.?
I have read your answers on his obligations to his family. What is the harms if he fails to fulfill these obligations.
A: Definitely. It is his obligation to see to the housing, food and clothing. If he neglects this duty then he is neglecting a fardh, and neglecting a fardh amounts to a major sin.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
