The ruling on giving a gift to one son to the exclusion of the others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question. He says: If I give one of my sons a piece of land, am I required to give his brothers the same? And what is the share

Answer:
Justice is required if you give a gift to some of your sons, whether it is land, money, or anything else; you must give the others the same. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man who came to him having given a gift to his son and wanting him to witness it: “Did you give all your children the same as this?” He said: “No.” He said: “Fear Allah and be just among them.” He said: “No, I will not witness.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
No, I do not witness injustice. I do not witness injustice. I will have someone else witness this, for I do not witness injustice.لا إني لا أشهد على جور لا أشهد على جور أشهد على هذا غيري فإني لا أشهد على جور
This is injustice, and it is not permissible to single out some of one’s children with a gift to the exclusion of the others. Yes.
