What is the method of being just among children, especially in their needs such as a car and marriage? And are sons and daughters equal?

The questioner : He says: What is the method of being just among children, especially in their needs such as a car and marriage? And are sons and daughters equal?

The Shaykh : Perfect. The method of being just among children is to give each person what he needs. If one of them needs to get married, he gives him the full mahr (bridal gift), and he is not required to give to the others. As for the car, the precautionary measure is to keep the car in his name—that is, in the father's name—and grant his son the benefit of using it. If the father happens to die, the car is returned to his estate and inherited by all. If the son also happens to die, it is returned to the father. This is the most precautionary approach. As for adjusting the amount given to them if they are males and females, the stronger position is that the male has the share of two females, because there is no division more just than the division of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and Allah the Exalted said: . Here is a matter I would like to point out: some people bequeath the mahr to their young children after their death, and this is forbidden (haram) and not permissible for them. The heirs are not required to carry out this bequest. For example, a man has three children: one is an adult who has reached the age of marriage, so he gave him a mahr of, say, fifty thousand. The other two are young and have not reached the age of marriage. Some people bequeath fifty thousand to each of them, similar to what he gave to the older one to marry, and this is a mistake. The bequest is forbidden, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): . If the third son wishes to invalidate the bequest, he has the right to do so. Yes.
