Question
Hello, A son who sees his father squandering his assets (gambling, spending, etc.) and seems to soon end up on the street, how should the son act?
Answer
Hello
The commandment of returning lost property includes the law that if a person is about to lose his wealth, it is obligatory to help him not to lose it.
In such a situation, one must act cautiously, as the son is obligated to honor his father and must not disgrace him, but he is obliged to act wisely and save what can be saved.
