The ruling on giving a gift to some children and not to others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: May Allah bless you. I want to donate a piece of land to one of my daughters and also pay for the construction of apartments on it, and this is all I have for building the apartments. Please note that she is not employed and she is divorced, while her other sisters have salaries and are married. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This action is not permissible. You must not give to some of your children, whether male or female, to the exclusion of the others. You must be just. Fear Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2587. Therefore, it is not permissible to give to one daughter to the exclusion of the other daughters, unless the daughter is afflicted with a chronic illness or a chronic defect that prevents her from earning. In that case, there is no harm in giving her something to spend on her and to provide for her because of her condition. Yes.
