Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, I mean, sometimes a person might give more to a son than to a daughter regarding a need or something.
The Shaykh : Giving is not permissible.
The questioner : Is the young one and the old one the same?
The Shaykh : As for a need, if the garment for the older one costs ten and the one for the younger costs nine, for example, you do not give the one who needs nine a dinar, because you bought his garment for ten. It is not like that, but it is according to the actual cost.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Like some of them.
The questioner : I mean, for example, one is twenty years old and the other is four years old, meaning the same.
The Shaykh : I understand what suits him, let it be. Is what the older one eats the same as what the younger one eats?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : Yes, we observe that there is no preference in giving, but in the case of a need, there must be a distinction.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Interpreted, interpreted.
The Shaykh : Interpreted.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Did you not take the answer that the Imams of Hadith did not declare the Mu'tazilah disbelievers?
The questioner : Yes, they did not declare them disbelievers.
The Shaykh : Okay, that is the answer.
The questioner : I mean, every innovator, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Every misguided person is an innovator.
The Shaykh : Giving is not permissible.
