In Islam, subsistence-giving is an obligatory act upon children to their parents – subject to certain criteria. Although the obligatory act of subsistence-giving is made clear by Muslim jurists (fuqaha), there are still children who failed to fulfil their filial duty upon their parents. Cases of neglection, especially on parents who are of old-age and disabled, are widely reported by the media. Therefore, this study is an attempt to identify the types as well as factors in subsistence-giving by children. This quantitative study was conducted among 291 respondents among academics from three public universities in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia via questionnaire surveys. The data then were analysed using IBM® SPSS 20 with special emphasis on its descriptive statistics to discern both types and factors in subsistence-giving by children to their parents. The study found that most children prefer to contribute cash and household supplies to their parents. Meanwhile, the most preferred frequency for subsistence-giving is on a monthly basis. However, the study also indicates that subsistence-giving does not correlate with their parents’ needs or their sibling position in the family.
