What are the Sharia implications for a father who financially assists his sick son in furnishing a home, in relation to his other children? And is it better to save an equivalent amount for each of them to start a project, or should it be given to them at the same time the amount is given to the son in need?

If a man gives his son money to furnish a house due to the son's need, he is not obligated to give the rest of his children the same amount he gave to the needy son. Therefore, singling out some children for a gift due to their need is permissible.
