The Ruling on Preferring Some Children in a Gift
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asked: May Allah reward you with good. This is the best question. He says: I was given a grant of land, and then I told my daughter’s husband to return it, and it was a gift from me to my daughter. Then it became clear to me that I had given my daughter what I had not given her sisters, so I did not finalize the gift to her until she gives it away. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
Yes, yes. It is not permissible for you to single out some of your children with a gift to the exclusion of their siblings, whether male or female. You must either be just among them or withdraw this gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not bear witness to my own injustice. Fear Allah and be just among your children.

To the one who wanted to give a gift to some of his children, he said: Did you give all your children the like of this? He said: No,
للذي أراد أن يخص بعض أولاده يعطيه، قال أكل ولدك أعطيت مثل هذا؟ قال لا،He said: I do not bear witness to this, for I do not bear witness to
قال أشهد على هذا غيري فإني لا أشهد على
