It is not permissible for a father to wrong some of his children. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Fear Allah and be just.اتقوا الله واعدلوا.
because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Be afraid of Allah, and be just to your children.اتقوا الله واعدلوا بين أولادكم
Sahih al-Bukhari 2587
