The son who serves his father to the exclusion of his other brothers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If the one who is dedicated to serving his father…
The Shaykh:
Perfect.
The questioner:
If one of the sons is exclusively devoted to serving his father in every way, and the father is not shy about giving him something or being kind to him, while the others are each engaged in that, or in work, or in wrongdoing.
The Shaykh:
It does not become so; he has no right to it, unless they agreed with him during his lifetime on a known wage comparable to that of his peers among the workers, that he would perform this work. They agree with him on a wage, that he would take charge of this farm, or take charge of grazing the sheep, or the camels, to the exclusion of his other brothers, making it a regular salary like the salary of a stranger. In that case, he has a right to it, and he should not give him an increase or show him favoritism. Yes.
