The answer

It is forbidden to discriminate between children in gifts due to the injustice and oppression it entails. If a father singles out one of his children for a gift and then dies before equalizing them, the one who received the excess must return it to the estate to be divided among all heirs. If he does not do so, it will be deducted from his share.
