Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for a father to be just among his children when lending to them, in the number of times he lends and in the amount of the loan?
Answer:
He lends to him, because a loan is returned; it is not a gift. It is only returned. So if he lends to only one of them while they are all in need, this is not permissible for him. But if the rest are wealthy and this one is in need, he may lend to him, and there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
