Justice Among Children in Gifts and Affection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One who leans toward one of them more in affection, treatment, and giving them money.

Answer:
As for affection, he cannot be just in it, but as for gifts and outward actions, it is obligatory for him to be just with his children. The Messenger of Allah (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
He should be just among them in gifts, in actions, and in speech, in praise, in supplication, and in other matters. He should not single out some of them in the presence of the others, as that angers them. He should be just among them in that. Yes. We conclude this session with a segment
