Justice Among Children in Marriage Expenses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When he marries some of them on the grounds that they are in greater need than the daughters, and does not give to the daughters, is this considered injustice such that he is required to be just?

Answer:
If he marries off some of his children, then if the second one needs to be married, he marries her, and if she does not need it, he is not required to do so. This is in terms of the amount of maintenance. So if he gives to some of his daughters for the effort of marriage, if the second one gets married, justice requires that she be given what was given to the first one, and if she does not get married, then no. This is a gift contingent on a condition; if the condition is met, the conditioned thing is due, otherwise it is not. Yes.
