Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between a gift and financial maintenance for a father with his sons? Is there a difference between a gift and financial maintenance?
Answer:
Yes, there is a difference. Financial maintenance is provided to each person according to what he needs, and it may differ from one to another. As for a gift, no, he must give each of them the same as he gave the other. As for financial maintenance, there is no doubt that the maintenance of an adult is not the same as that of a child; the adult’s maintenance is greater. Equalizing the maintenance is not required, because it is based on need. Yes.
