The Ruling on Differentiating Between Children in Treatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This person says, may Allah protect you: What is the ruling on differentiating between a daughter and a son in treatment by the parents?

Answer:
It is not permissible to single out some of the children with love, or giving, or treatment, to the exclusion of the rest of his children. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.اتقوا الله واعدلوا بين أولادكم
Sahih al-Bukhari 2587
He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Do you want them to be equal in their kindness to you? He said: Yes. He said: Then do not do it.أتريد أن يكونوا في البر لك سواء؟ قال نعم، قال فلا إذن
meaning: I do not prefer one of them over the other in giving. Yes.

May Allah bless you
