Should the inheritance be divided after the marriage of the youngest daughter, for whom the father did not provide a dowry, or should it be divided regardless of what the eldest sister received during his lifetime?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The inheritance is divided among the heirs after the death of the inheritor, and the youngest daughter is not entitled to take money from the estate for her marriage before its division. What the father spent on his eldest daughter for her marriage is considered spending for a need, not a gift, so nothing is deducted from it for the youngest daughter. It is permissible to favor some children with a gift for a specific need, such as illness, a large family, or engagement in seeking knowledge, and this is not considered the forbidden injustice.
