Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This is another questioner who says: Is it permissible for a father to show affection for one of his children over the others?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible, because it leads to severance between the children and discord among them. So do not show this. Be just, fear Allah, and be just among your children. This is showing it. As for if he loves one more than the other in his heart and does not show this, there is no harm in that, because this is something he cannot control. Yes.
