Question:
This questioner says: I received a larger amount from my father than my sisters, and they are not aware of it. What is the ruling on this action by my father?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a father to give special treatment to some of his children or to prefer some over others. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2587 Therefore, he must make up for it and be just in his gifts to his children. He should give to the one whose right was shortchanged and take from the one who received an excess. Yes.
