Is it permissible for a father to disinherit his two children on the pretext of achieving justice among his children, by allocating his end-of-service gratuity to the other three children, in exchange for what he provided to the married son and daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the end-of-service benefit is a right of the employee, it is an inheritance to be distributed among the heirs, and it is not permissible to bequeath it to an heir unless the other heirs agree. However, if it is a gift from the employer, it is not included in the inheritance and belongs to whomever the employer specifies. A father gifting an apartment to his son for marriage without achieving justice among his children is considered an unjust gift. The father must reclaim the apartment and arrange the marriages of the children in need without discrimination.
