How to Give Gifts to Children: The Male and the Female

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Regarding children, when giving gifts, are they given according to the shares of inheritance, such that the son is given twice what the daughter is given?

Answer:
Yes, that is correct. The scholars have differed on whether the intention is to equalize between the males and females, or whether the male is given the share of two females, starting with the division prescribed by Allah? The position of the school of jurisprudence is that the male is given the share of two females.
