Abstract

Islam is a perfect religion and provides solution to all problems. Establishment of old age homes for unattended elders is a contemporary issue. Parents are the backbone part of the family system and they are the major source of the child birth and his/her training for the daily life routine matters. The part which feeds and uplifts the children may also be cared when they are in need of the care.

This research paper is a discussion about the introduction, need, social role and justification of the old age homes. Islam imposes some family social and ethical obligations on the children with respect to the parents in their old lives when they feel the need of some caring persons. Some prohibited and permissible aspects of the old ages have been mentioned in this research paper which will provide the guideline for the positive use of the old age homes as well as the children responsibilities towards the parents in Islamic perspective.
