Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 835/664/B=1431)
It is undoubtedly lawful and right for you to keep some money with you. You must take care that all the needs of mother are fulfilled. That is enough. There is no harm if you and your mother both save some money. It will help in the time of need.
