Q: We are 3 brothers. My parents are our employed. We are in joint family. I am also employed and married and have 2 children. My other brothers are in a business and one of them is married. I am a kind hearted man and spend my money to look after the poor.
I want to know whether the money I earn is mine or my parents? Do I have a right to spend for the sake of Allah without my parents will? As they are self-employed.
A: It is allowed as long as you are not neglecting their rights.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
