Writing over land for the father in exchange for money the son paid for his sister's marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man has two questions. He says that his father wanted to marry off his daughter. He is from Egypt and works here, so he sent money to help his father with the marriage of this daughter, intending to do so. But the father said, "I will write a deed for you to a piece of land in exchange for this money," because his other brother had asked for land in exchange for money to help with her marriage. His intention was to be dutiful to his father by giving him the money and taking nothing in return. The father insisted on this. Years later, he wants to write the deed for the land. He says this is a gift, and it distinguishes between the children, which is not permissible.

The Shaykh:
And what he gave as assistance for the daughter.

The questioner:
He gave it to his father to help the daughter with the marriage, and the father insisted that.

The Shaykh:
And his brothers, their father gives them land to divide among them.

The questioner:
He does not give in exchange for this money, because the son gave it to him from his work here in Saudi Arabia; he gave it to his father.

The Shaykh:
Rather, unless he gives to his brothers, it is a crime.

The questioner:
In an hour with a man, he gives him money, and he said to him, "At the price, I would have sold the land to someone else; I am selling it to you as if you were..." No.

The Shaykh:
If you are honored, provided it is not like the people, they understand.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
