Ruling on a father giving his older son more financial support than his younger son
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have children in school, some older and some younger. When I give them some personal expenses, I prefer the older one over the younger one. Is this permissible?
Answer:
It depends on the school expenses. For example, if the older child’s need is greater, he is given what he needs, not for the sake of himself, but rather what he needs for his learning, because the older child’s expenses may be higher in terms of the notebooks, books, or other things he needs.
So the result is: he is given what he needs for education, even if it is more than what the younger one gets. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
