Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman says — or rather, a woman whose husband has passed away, and she has three sons. A woman whose husband has passed away, and she has three sons and three daughters, and she has married the three daughters off using her father's money. The question is: Is it permissible for her to give the sons twice what she gave the daughters so they can use it to get married, or is she sinful if she does that?
Answer:
This is all a mix-up and entirely wrong, because the father's money has become the inheritance of the children. She has no authority to dispose of it. She has no authority to dispose of it. She is entitled only to her share of it, which is one-eighth, and the rest belongs to the children. If they are minors, it is to be preserved for them until they reach maturity. If they are adults, she is to give it to them so they can dispose of it. Yes.
