How should the inheritance be divided among the mentioned heirs, and what is the best way to safeguard the rights of young children to ensure the completion of their education? Is it permissible to allocate a portion of the properties to them, or to increase it in the future? Is a verbal declaration sufficient for this, or is a written document required? Can a sum be allocated to the third daughter for her marriage expenses?

A father marrying off his children and spending on their education is not a justification for bequeathing a share of his inheritance to those who have not yet reached the age of marriage or study. This is because such expenditure is for the purpose of meeting needs and is not a gift that necessitates equality. Furthermore, it is not possible to restrict the heirs before the death of the inheritor.
