The reward for memorizing the Qur'an and giving special attention to some of the children

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the father...

The Shaykh:
They stated that whoever memorizes the Qur'an is among the awliya (close friends of Allah). Is it obligatory for him to be equal among his children in this regard, even if some of them do not memorize it?

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not obligatory for him to give special attention to some of his children because of a characteristic they possess. For example, if one is a student of knowledge, he is encouraged to seek knowledge; or if one has a physical defect and is unable to earn a living, while the other is healthy, the person with the disability is given something because of his condition of being unable to work, while the other is sound and healthy. If the special attention to some of his children is due to a characteristic they have that the others do not, there is no harm in that. Or if one of them is poor and the others are wealthy, there is no harm in that. Yes.
