I asked a question earlier (I converted to Islam recently); however, I got to thinking about the financial relationship with my father and I. Should I still give my wealth to him if he asks?

Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put the following question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen:
I became Muslim recently and I am wondering about the financial relationship between me and my father. Do I have to give him money because of the hadeeth, “You and your wealth belong to your father”?
He (may Allaah preserve him) replied as follows:
Does he mean spending on him or what?
-He says that he asks him for different things, it is not just the matter of spending on him, it is more than that.
Answer: he is not obliged to do more than spend on him (i.e., cover his living expenses); as for charity, that is not a problem (i.e., if he wants to give him more as an act of charity, that is fine).
And Allaah knows best.
