The ruling on dividing wealth among children during one's lifetime

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, Abu Sa'd, sent this question. He says: Honorable Shaykh, a man wants to divide his lawful wealth among his sons and daughters during his lifetime. Does he give the male the share of two females, or does he give them equally? And may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
This matter is referred to the Shari'ah court if he wants to carry out this action. He must consult the Shari'ah court in order to document this transaction, and he must not act without referring to the Shari'ah court. However, in general, if he is just in his giving among his children, he has fulfilled the obligatory duty upon him, which is justice. There are two opinions among the scholars regarding justice: one is to equalize between the male and the female. The second opinion is that justice is to give the male the share of two females, following the division of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
