Q: My children's father is addicted to drugs.
I do not feel comfortable with them spending time in his company & I'm advising them to help him with food only if he gets sick as I feel they are enabling his habit. He manipulates them to feel sympathy for him & uses them for money, transport, food etc. Am I incorrect for doing this?
Islam teaches us to help others, even moreso our parents & family. But does this also apply when the person is a hard-core addict & instead of using his hard-earned money in the right way, he is utilizes it incorrectly.
A: They should assist their father in fulfilling all his halaal needs.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
