Gift to a mentally disabled child of what is necessary for him, such as housing or otherwise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I have one of my sons, who is the youngest, and this son has suffered from a disability since birth until now. He is about thirteen years old, and his disability consists of an inability to speak
and poor behavior and comprehension at times, according to reports issued regarding him by the Armed Forces Hospital in the South, as well as the Armed Forces Hospital in Riyadh, and King Faisal Specialist Hospital for Research and Education in Riyadh. I am more concerned about this son than his other siblings, not for any reason, for my sons and daughters are all equal in my eyes, and I do not prefer one over the other, but this son is more so because of the health conditions he lives with. Your Eminence: This son receives a monthly salary of approximately 1,166 riyals, and I wish to allocate a complete apartment for him and his mother (my wife) from my three-story building located in Khamis Mushait, and I also wish to build a residence for him in my hometown, on my private property, to be independent for him and his mother, given his special circumstances which I fear for him after my death. It is known that some of his salary was previously used during the construction of my three-story residence in Khamis Mushait, from which I wish to allocate an apartment specifically for him and his mother. My question, Your Eminence: Is this matter I mentioned to Your Eminence permissible? Knowing that I have sons, daughters, and a wife, but this son is disabled and I fear for him, and some of his salary was previously used in the construction of this residence from which I wish to allocate a portion for him, and I wish to establish another residence for him in my hometown that is exclusively his. Please issue a ruling
May Allah reward you with the best reward.
A: There is no harm in giving the mentally disabled (disabled) son a residence for him to the extent of his need, and it is made his property, unlike the others, and for the one who cares for him, such as his mother or others, to reside with him with his permission. This is not considered giving him a special preference over his other siblings, nor a neglect of justice among them; because this is for a specific reason pertaining to him, as the scholars have stated.
