Qur`an 2: 215 They ask you [O, Messenger!] concerning what they should spend [in the Way of Allah], say: "It is good whatever of wealth and properties you spend for parents and relatives [who are in need] and orphans and the poor who beg and the wayfarers. And whatever you do of good deeds verily, Allah is the Knower of it."

Qur`an 24: 13 Why did they not bring four witnesses of it? But as they have not brought witnesses they are liars before Allah.

 Qur`an 2: 233            And the mothers shall suckle their children two complete years; if the mother desires to complete the term of suckling herself, on the father shall be her sustenacne and her clothing in fairness. No person shall have a burden laid on him greater than he can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child nor father on account of his child. On the father's heir is incumbent the like of that [which was a duty on the father] if they both decide on weaning [before the due time] by mutual consent, and after consultation, there is no sin on them. If you [parents] decide on a foster suckling-mother for your children, there is no sin on you, provided that you pay her what you agreed on a reasonable basis. And fear from the disobedience of Allah's Command and know that Allah is the Seer of what you do.

Traditions: Disobedience of Children 1)         The Holy Prophet [s] told Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali [a]: "O' Ali! Allah has cursed the parents who would cause their child to be disobedient of them by cursing them."

  Two Opposite Extremes in Providing for the Family 2)         Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali [a] said to one of his followers: "Do not devote most of your activity to your wife and your (grown up) children, because if your wife and children are lovers of Allah, then He will not leave His lovers uncared for, and if they be enemies of Allah, then why should you worry and keep yourself busy about the enemies of Allah." (There are two opposite extremes that can be taken by men in regards to providing for their families. One is the negligence of his responsibility to them and the other, which is addressed here, is the excessive compiling of wealth for them. Either of these two extremes are advised against).

The Right of Your Child Imam Sajjad, the fourth Imam, [a] said: "The right of your child is that you know that he has emerged from you and in this world, his right and wrong are attributed to you. You are responsible of his fine teaching and training, guiding him to his Lord, Almighty and Glorious, and, assisting him to obey Him. Therefore, be sure that if you do a favour to your child, you will obtain it; and if you act viciously against him, it will come back to you, too."
