Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : From Libya, a listener to the program, Ali, says in this question: My eldest son has a house from his work in trade; does my other son have a right to this house?
The Shaykh : If this house that your son has is from his own work and his own earnings, then his brother has no right to it, because every person has his own property. However, if this house is something you gave him as a favor, then it is obligatory for you to give his other brothers something similar. If you do not do so, it is obligatory for you to take it back and make this house part of your own wealth. If you die, it will become an inheritance after you.
