Topic: Responsibility of the child towards the parents?

  Assalaamu alaikum.
Does anyone know or if anyone can ask the Ulamaa about...

The responsibility of the son is to look after his parents, and there is no doubt in this.
As for a family which has NO sons but only daughters, how is this responsibility placed? (This is with relation to marriage)

Jazakumullaah khair

  It is the responsibility of both the son and daughter to look after their parents just because there are only daughters in a family doesn't mean that they have no responsibility to look after their parents.

There is an excellent tape in Arabic by the noble sheikh Muhammad ibn Haade who talks about the responsinility of both son and daughter.

in general kindness to them even if they are kuffar, good word, help them if you are able, looking after them as they age, to obey them in the obedience to Allaah not in the disobedience to Allaah...

قال تعالى:{إنا نحن نزلنا الذكر وإنا له لحافظون}
قال الشيخ السعدي - رحمه الله - في تفسيره (3/31): " فلا يحرف محرف معنى من معانيه( القرآن ) إلا وقيض  الله له من يبين الحق المبين وهذا من أعظم آيات الله ونعمه على عباده المؤمنين".
