Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Abu 'Abd al-Basit from Jeddah asks: Is it permissible for me to prefer one of my children over his siblings with a gift or money, given his severe need, his many children, and his debts?
Answer:
Yes, if he is poor, you give to him because of his poverty or to pay off a debt he is unable to pay, and there is nothing wrong with that; because this is giving based on a specific attribute, yes.
The presenter:
