(REPLY) Sat Nam. There's no way to answer your question without knowing the circumstances. Sometimes those who have earned a lot can afford to give to those in need. In fact, that is one of the things that Guru Nanak taught. "Earn righteously and share what you have with those who are less fortunate." On the other hand, if you and your husband are being exploited and taken advantage of, that is another thing. Do you have enough money for your own needs? Is giving the money causing a hardship? Giving in the Name of God is a virtue. What does your husband say about it? Maybe the relatives are just greedy, and maybe not. Remember, God is the ONLY Giver. When we give, we become Godlike. Pray for wisdom and guidance. SP
