The ruling on a mother giving to her sons and daughters during her lifetime

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, there is a woman who has a son and two daughters. She wants to give them something; she has three hundred thousand and wants to give it to her children. Does she give it to them according to the Shari'ah after her death, or does she give it to them equally while she is alive? Thank you.

Answer:
Yes, she gives to them in the proportion of inheritance, where the male receives the share of two females, following Allah’s division in which the male receives the share of two females. However, she must not give to some and leave out others.
Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.اتقوا الله واعدلوا بين أولادكم
Sahih al-Bukhari 2587
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
