Is it permissible for a mother to give her daughter a sum of money without her brother, knowing that the daughter is not yet married while her brother is married and stable, and is this considered discrimination in gifting?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Justice among children in gifts and endowments is obligatory, unless some children have a special need that necessitates preferring them to the extent of their need.

Accordingly, it is not permissible for a mother to specify money for her daughter over her married son as a gift, for the daughter's unmarried status is not a justification for preferring her in the endowment. However, if she marries, she may spend on her marriage what she needs in a reasonable manner.
