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.
