Is it permissible for a man to give his wife or to designate one of his sons with money?

Question : This is a woman calling in on the line. She mentions that she is a wife with three daughters. Her husband wants to write her a portion of his wealth, even though he has a lot of money. Is this permissible for him? She has a daughter who is disabled, and he wants to say that he is securing her future. Please go ahead.

Answer : It is permissible for a man to give his wife whatever he wishes from his wealth, especially if she has fulfilled the duty of good companionship. As for designating his disabled daughter with something, he may give her only what she needs, or what exceeds her needs. This is because a person is obligated to be just among his children in giving. He gives the male two shares and the female one share. It is not permissible to designate one of them with an excess, except for what he needs for maintenance, medicine, marriage, or the like. May Allah reward you. Thank you to the woman calling in on the line. Please go ahead.
