If the father pays the costs of his son's marriage, is he required to give his daughters something?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you. If a man marries off his son, Honorable Shaykh, and furnishes his house, if he has daughters, are they entitled to receive something from that in the name of justice?
The Shaykh : If he is in need and does not have what is required for the marriage, he is not obligated to give the daughters anything.
The questioner : You are not being sincere.
The Shaykh : This was to meet a need. Just as if a woman needed something, he would give her her need, even if he gave to his son.
The presenter : Very well, may Allah reward you with good, and thank you to the sister.
