Question:
The questioner says: I have sons, and I gave one of them a camel, since he is the one who keeps my camels and takes care of them without his brothers. Is my action correct?
Answer:
If this is in the category of wages, and you gave him the camel as wages for his work, then there is no harm in that. This is in exchange for work. But if you gave him the camel or anything else out of love for him or out of injustice toward him, then it is not permissible until you give the others the same. Yes.
