Paying the rent for one of the children and being just among them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A father of four sons, three of whom live with me in the house, and the fourth lives in a rented house because my house is too small. He is asking me to pay his rent in order to be fair to his brothers. The question is: Is it obligatory for me to pay his rent for the sake of being fair among the sons, given that, Honorable Shaykh, they are all working and have a monthly income?
Answer:
He should come and live with you. Justice is that he comes and lives with you. If he wants justice, he should come and live with you. But if he leaves, he has waived his right, and he is entitled to nothing. Yes.
