Question
Until when is a father responsible for the maintenance of his daughters? Is it right that the daughter should work to support herself?
Answer
The father is responsible for the maintenance of his daughters until marriage or until death if they are not married. It is not permissible for a woman to leave the home precincts to earn. It is the Waajib obligation of her father or uncles or paternal nephews to support her.
