A father dividing his wealth among his children during his lifetime and favoring some of them

The questioner:
Is it permissible for a father, while he is alive, to distribute all his wealth among his children according to the shares Allah has prescribed for them, in case he fears that some of his children will be left without their due?

The Shaykh:
This is permissible if he divides his wealth among his children according to the rules of inheritance. However, if a new child is born, what does he do? He must return to them and give the new child his share. He must return to them and give the new child his share. Therefore, the best course is not to divide his wealth among his children, because it is possible that more children will be born. Then he will get into trouble later. Yes.

The questioner:
The same applies if a father favors some of his children by giving them gifts for their needs, or for their children, or for their workers, or if he withholds from some of his children, or if he does so out of bias against those who do not take what they are entitled to, then this is not...

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible, it is not permissible to favor some of his children, even if one is poor, even if he is a student of knowledge, even if he is more dutiful to him than the others, even if he is righteous and the other is disobedient. It is not permissible to favor one, due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) . Yes.
This applies to ownership and giving. As for maintenance, he must provide for each person according to what he needs. There is no doubt that the maintenance of an adult is not the same as the maintenance of a child. The maintenance of an adult is not the same as the maintenance of an infant or a young child. So he provides for each person according to what he needs. Yes, yes. One who needs a large amount of maintenance is not the same as one who needs a small amount. There is no harm in this, because it is not a gift. Yes.
