The ruling on a father dividing his wealth among his children before his death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. With us is our brother Abdullah from al-Taif. Please, Abdullah. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. Peace, Allah's mercy, and blessings be upon you. And upon you be peace. Honorable Shaykh, I have two sons, and I want to divide my account, meaning my business assets, among my children. The eldest son refused his share of the money. Is it possible for me to give his share to his brother?

Answer:
No, do not divide your wealth among your children. Keep your wealth, and give to whichever of your children is in need the amount of his need, and keep your wealth, for that is better for you. Perhaps more children will come after those among whom you divided the wealth, so from where would you give to them? Yes.
