Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Justice among the children.
The Shaykh : Ah.
The questioner : For example, a man has daughters and sons.
The Shaykh : And he has an older one and a younger one.
The questioner : The daughters are in private schools, which means paying money, but the sons are in public schools, which means he does not pay the same amount for them.
The Shaykh : He does not pay for them, but they do not need it.
The questioner : So, if the need arises? And what about school supplies?
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : The one who needs...
The student: Does it compensate him? Ah, Abu Rashid, do you mean?
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The student: So, each person according to need, religiously, Shaykh? If one wants to marry one.
The Shaykh : One needs a garment that costs ten because he is tall, and the shorter one costs eight. Do we sit and calculate, saying this one’s garment cost us ten and that one’s eight, so we give him two dinars? No, that is not the case. The case is with gifts and endowments, so that each can dispose of it as he wishes. This one eats more than that one.
