Justice in Giving to Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Salih, may Allah preserve you and bless you. A questioner says: Is it obligatory for me to be just in my giving to my children?
The Shaykh:
Yes, fear Allah and be just among your children. When a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to have him witness a gift he had given to one of his children, he said: "Have you given this to all your children?" He said: "No." He said: "I will not witness to injustice, so have someone else witness to it. Fear Allah and be just among your children." Yes.
The questioner:
And is the giving to the children like the division of inheritance, or according to need?
The Shaykh:
According to what is available and what is easy to provide. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
