The financially able person is obliged to spend on his kinship relatives [297] The Hanafi Madhab restricts it to mahram blood relatives, such as paternal uncles and aunts, maternal uncles and aunts, and siblings. It does not deem it obligatory for anyone other than these relatives, such as paternal cousins or mahram people who are not blood relatives like the mother through breastfeeding. In the event of where people are equal in respect of kinship and eligibility of inheritance, precedence is given to the one who is an actual heir according to the extent of his inheritance. The Hanbali Madhab however restricts it to the kin who inherits a prescribed share or by the method of agnation. Accordingly, one is obliged to pay the maintenance of the full brother, maternal half-brother, paternal half-brother, paternal uncles and paternal male cousins and it is not obligatory for paternal aunts, female paternal cousins, maternal uncles and aunts, and their likes who do not have the right to inherit neither by a prescribed share nor by agnation. who are poor and unable to provide for themselves. This is the view of Hanafi and Hanbali Madhabs, and t is the view of a group of righteous predecessors, Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Ibn ‘Uthaymeen.
