Bequest of some wealth to some of the children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the bequeather to bequeath some of his wealth to some of his children and not to the others?

Answer:
There is no bequest for an heir. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There is no bequest for an heir,لا وصية لوارث،
Therefore, a bequest to an heir is not permissible, for his inheritance is sufficient for him.
