The questioner:
A questioner says: A person died, and the mother wanted to give her share to her sons only, specifically allocating it to the sons. Is she allowed to do that?
The Shaykh:
Deduct it from me.
The questioner:
From the inheritance.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that, but do not give to some of them specifically. Distribute the gift among them all. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you given to all your children?"Sahih Muslim 1623g on injustice, Sahih al-Bukhari 2587 Be just among your children in giving.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
