Responsibility of taking care of a baaligh boy who is mentally challenged
Q: Who is responsible from both parents to assist a baligh boy who is mentally challenged, to assist him in shaving, scrubbing and bathing. He is 24, but looks like a 14 year old. His hands cannot reach out to even wash himself in the toilet, hasn't got flexible fingers to use properly.
The mother does everything as the father shows very little or no interest. Please advise.
She doesn't mind taking care of her son, but also wants the father to share in the reward Allah will grant, in sha Allah.
