The father giving more to his dutiful son than to his brothers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a father has a son who is more dutiful to him than the others, is it permissible for him to give him more than his other brothers?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible for him. The dutiful son has equality with the others in the sight of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He is seeking worldly gain; he has equality with the others in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
