Enjoining the Good and Forbidding Evil: Using Family Wealth Without Khums: What’s the Duty of a Son or Wife?
English:
Question #1062:
What is the duty of a son toward his parents or that of a wife toward her husband when they do not pay khums on their assets? Are they allowed to use the assets on which khums has not been paid leading to the assets to be mixed with ḥarām, considering many traditions in which it is emphasised to avoid such properties as they contaminate the soul?
Answer #1062:
They (the son and the wife) should enjoin the good and forbid the evil whenever they see the parents or the husband neglecting the good or committing the evil provided that the conditions for carrying them out exist. As for using their wealth, there is no problem in it.
