The questioner:
We conclude this episode, may Allah bless you, with a question from Umm Salih. She asks: How is justice to be achieved among one’s children, given that some are distinguished from others and I am inclined toward one of them?
The Shaykh:
Yes, justice among one’s children is to give each of them what he needs and to spend on them, bearing their expenses according to their need.
The questioner:
And showing partiality to one of them.
The Shaykh:
One shows partiality to one of them; because this leads to undutifulness to parents. Yes.
