Equalizing gifts among children is a condition for the permissibility of giving

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 19089 )
Q1: I am an Egyptian teacher, and Allah has blessed me with two daughters and a son. The son has passed away, leaving me with the two daughters. I live in an apartment in a building in Alexandria, and I have taken ownership of my apartment and registered it in the names of the two daughters to secure their future and out of fear for their well-being after my death. Is this permissible, or does it conflict with inheritance in the law of Allah?
A1: What you did falls under the category of giving gifts to children, which is permissible on the condition of equalizing between them; based on the saying of the Prophet (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
. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
