Abstract

Islam motivates to spend wealth, time, abilities and life for the betterment of God’s creatures for Allah’s sake. Every man wishes to get near to Allah through his verbal and practical worship. So Islam has described it as a religious duty of the wealthy people to fulfil the needs of the hard up people. To spend wealth for Allah’s will is a great source which is called alimony .Alimony means to provide the relevant members of the family with essential finances to fulfil their needs. Islam introduces to its followers not only  a compact   system  of expenditure but also determines  the conditions for spending  due to which  the obligatory alimonies is fixed, like alimony of wife   by husband , alimony  of parents by their children, and the old parents  who directly need support and the needy. The Holy Quran and  Hadith  have set such principles regarding  the obligatory  charity as can make humans  succeed  fruitfully  by practicing those principles in case of  paying  the alimony  after   mentioning the said  individuals.  It is the responsibility of husband to fulfil all the needs of wife, e.g costume, diet, residence, etc. According  to  the jamhoor  jurisprudents, the word offspring  is  definite, whereas according to Imam Malik , the subsistence   of only   real  children is binding on  the  father  and  the  similar  point of view is liable pertaining to father. It was made mandatory for the father to provide the children with the wages for maternal milk, nurturing and essential needs (costume, diet and education etc.) The jurisprudents have made it clear that the foremost deservers of the optional charity are the parents. The fair treatment to the oppressed and the feeble sect and catering their needs is in reality spending on them. In short, the financial discrimination may end due to the zeal of serving   humanity.
