Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If my eldest son gets married and I house him in an apartment in the house, he says: If my eldest son gets married and I put him up in an apartment in my house without rent, then if his other brothers get married, am I required to house them?
Answer:
You do not house them unless he is poor and cannot afford to rent a place to live, because that is part of his financial maintenance if you are maintaining him because he is poor. But if he is able to rent or build, it is not permissible for you to give him special treatment among his brothers. Yes.
