Summary of question
Who is responsible for the sustenance of a one’s jobless son?
question
Whose responsibility is the sustenance of one’s jobless son and his family?
Concise answer

The following is the response of the maraji’ to this question:[1]

If one’s child is poor and currently cannot earn his sustenance through a means befitting his status and state, his father is responsible for his (the son) and his (the son’s) children’s sustenance, given that he (the father) is financially established himself, while sustaining his (the son’s) wife is not his obligation. But the son must not be careless in earning a living, if he is, there is no obligation on the father.
