The Ruling on Justice Among Children in Giving

Question:
We move on to another questioner who asks: I have a sum of money that I received from my father’s inheritance, and I gave it to one of my sons to help him with his marriage, because this son needs the money, while the rest have enough and do not need money. Does my action fall under injustice among the children? And how is justice to be achieved among them?

Answer:
If this son is unable to marry and he needs to marry, then you give him what helps him to marry or covers the cost of his marriage, because this is his right upon you and falls under maintenance. However, if this son is wealthy and can marry from his own money, it is not permissible for you to give him something from the money on the pretext that he wants to marry and this is assistance; this is not permissible unless you are just between him and his brothers by giving them the same, with the male receiving the share of two females. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Did you give your son like this? He said: No. He said: Fear Allah and be just among your children. Yes
