Question

My parents have 3 daughters. I am elder one. They did a lot to educate us. Now I am doing a job in a University. Is my salary Hala or Haram for my parents? They take only little of it as they have no son and my father is a retired man. From remaining salary they purchase things for my dowry.

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
