Justice Among Children in Financial Maintenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned in a previous lesson that it is not obligatory to be just among children in consumable financial maintenance. Is this considered correct in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
My brother, it is obligatory. However, justice is to give each of his children according to his need. This is justice. The need of a young child is not like the need of an older one; needs differ between children, whether they are older or younger. So justice is that he gives each one his need from financial maintenance. This is justice among children. Yes.
