Is a gift given by a father to his daughters only, excluding the males, permissible or forbidden?
What the father has given to his daughters, to the exclusion of his sons, is a voidable gift, because the father must be just among his children in giving, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Be mindful of Allah and be just among your children." Justice is commanded by Allah and His Messenger, and giving the two houses to the daughters to the exclusion of the sons contradicts this. Therefore, the questioner must command her father to be just, and if he does not, then she must divide the money between herself and her brothers and sisters, or return the money she took, which is safer for her faith and better for her in the sight of her Lord. It is preferable for whoever has been favored to follow justice and divide the money with his siblings according to the Book of Allah Almighty: "For the male, the share of two females."
