Is it permissible to designate durable furnishings, such as refrigerators and recorders, for sons exclusively, excluding daughters, to become their property after the father's death, knowing that the daughters have already been provided for?
Justice must be observed between children, male and female, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “Fear Allah and be just among your children.” It is not permissible to single out sons for something in a will without daughters, unless the mature daughters consent to it. However, it is safer not to single anyone out, even if they consent out of shyness. It is best that the inheritance be for everyone according to Allah’s division: “to the male, the equivalent of the portion of two females.”
