Is it permissible for a father to buy cars of different prices for his sons?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I bought a car for one of my sons, and after a while I bought a car for his brother, but it was more expensive by a difference of seventeen thousand. What is required of me?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to drive a car that is better than the first son's car. You should make them equal in this, because this breeds resentment in the hearts, and it is a concern.
The questioner:
He says: And if I asked the first son for permission and he agreed, is my conscience cleared?
The Shaykh:
If the first son agrees, there is nothing wrong with it, because the obstacle is in my interest, so if he permits it, there is nothing wrong with it.
