The answer

The maintenance of a minor whose father died poor falls upon his heirs from the 'Asabah (agnates) and the Ashab al-Furood (sharers), each according to their inheritance, based on the Almighty's saying: "And upon the heir is the like of that." As for the maintenance of the deceased's poor wife and mother, it falls upon their own heirs.
