Chapter on Livelihoods, Earnings, Profits, and Professions
رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لاِبْنِهِ مَالٌ فَاحْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ اَلْأَبُ قَالَ "يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ وَ أَمَّا اَلْأُمُّ فَلاَ تَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ قَرْضاً عَلَى نَفْسِهَا".
Hariz narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said: I asked him about a man whose son has wealth, and the father is in need of it. Imam عليه السلام said: "He may take from it, but as for the mother, she should not take from it except as a loan upon herself."
