Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the children and how to deal with them, if I have older children, Honorable Shaykh, in prestigious jobs, and I have other children, for example, in high school and middle school, how should the giving be, Honorable Shaykh? Do I equalize between them?
Answer:
Giving to children is according to need, and this is part of maintenance. You spend on each one according to his need, and the need of the older one is not like the need of the younger one. You spend on each of your children according to his need, and this is justice. This is unlike the gift of ownership, where it is necessary to equalize between the children. Yes.
