1. A man married a divorcee who who had one year old son from previous husband. 2. Now the son is 26 years old & married and dependent on father. 3. The son does not want to work/earn his living and wants his parents to meet all material requirements of his and his wife. QUESTION? Can parents under SHARIAT LAW take relief by asking him separation so that he is no longer dependant on parents?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1297/1038=L/1430)

Once the children are mature, the parents are not responsible for their sustenance and expenses; therefore the parents can separate him if they wish so.
