Is it permissible to give a gift to some of the children specifically?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: My mother wants to sell a portion of a piece of land she owns. Yes. He says: May Allah reward you. My mother wants to sell a portion of a piece of land she owns to give the price to my brother, who lives with her, so that he can buy a car to work on, on the condition that this share is deducted from his share of her inheritance later. Is this action valid?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to give a gift to some of the children specifically. And do not say, "Divide it from your inheritance." Do not say, "Divide it from your inheritance." And what makes you think you will die leaving wealth? You may die poor with nothing, and you may have already given it to him previously, or given him a specific share previously. This is not permissible. However, if she buys a car that remains her property and gives it to her son to use for a need, yes. Since it is her property, there is nothing wrong with that. It is her property; she did not give it to him, but he uses it for the needs of the house and the needs of his mother. There is no harm in that. Yes.
