This paper examines the adequacy of legal provisions governing the role of extended families in providing financial support under Malaysian law. This is to promote the importance of such function despite the breaking up of extended family relationships due to modernisation and urbanization. The study focuses on the Malay Muslim family where personal law is based on Sharīʿah and the role of extended family is an important component of the system. Besides, other forms of financial provisions are analysed to reflect the extent of familial relationship in response to the current needs.
