Question
Children dependent on their father's table whose brother has passed away, can they partake in the meal of consolation from their father's provisions, or must they eat from others?
Answer
Children for whom the father is not obligated to provide sustenance can eat from his provisions. Therefore, during the father's lifetime, as he is obligated to provide for them until the age of 6, from the age they are obligated in commandments, they can eat from their father's provisions. However, if the father has passed away, and he is obligated to provide for the daughters until they mature or marry, according to the conditions of the Bet Din, only from the age of 12 and a half can they eat from their father's provisions. Before this age, since he is obligated to provide for them, they cannot eat from his provisions, but rather from others.
