The ruling on a father giving to some of his children and not to others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, may Allah protect you, says: As for my father, he always and invariably gives one of our sons or one of my brothers a sum of money, to the exclusion of the others, due to the difficulty of his marital life. What is the ruling on this? And do we have the right to demand that? This is Muhammad al-Shamri from Ha'iz.

Answer:
Yes, demand that he be just among you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.اتقوا الله واعدلوا بين أولادكم
Sahih al-Bukhari 2587
So it is not permissible for a father to give a gift to some of his children to the exclusion of the others. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
