Sharing one's salary with one's parents and grandparents
Question
I will be working in a company for internship very shortly. There are 3 questions.
1. How should I divide this money in accordance to Deen?
2. I would like to know how should I divide this money among my parents and my 1 younger sister?
3. Is it necessary to provide for my paternal and maternal grandparents if they are wealthy?
Answer
1-2. Preference is to the parents, and take good care of your sister according to your means.
3. As a gesture of generosity and kindness, you should give them something as well.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
