The ruling on a father writing his properties over to his daughters during his lifetime
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Sulayman from Jeddah asks: Is it permissible for a father to write over his properties, or a part of them, to his daughters while he is still alive?
Answer:
It is not permissible to give to some of his children without giving to the others; he must give to all of them and not favor some over others. A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to have him witness a gift he had given to some of his children. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): Did you give to all your children?Sahih Muslim 1623g. He said: Have someone else witness this, Sahih Muslim 1623f, Sahih al-Bukhari 2587. Yes.
