Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: How does a father achieve justice in financial maintenance among his children? And is the amount doubled for a male over a female?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He asks: How does a father achieve justice in financial maintenance among his children?
The Shaykh:
Justice in financial maintenance among children is to give each one what he needs. You give the female what she needs and the male what he needs in terms of maintenance. This is justice. It is not equalizing between them, no. Each one has a need. That is to say, the maintenance of an older child is not the same as the maintenance of an infant. The infant’s maintenance is light, but the older one needs maintenance. So you give each one what he needs in clothing, housing, and what he needs for his affairs and works. Yes.
