Is a father who distributed the value of his land among five of his children, with the male receiving the share of two females, sinful? And must he re-divide if the division was incorrect? What is the proper method for distributing gifts among children?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a father grants a plot of land to one of his sons, and then gives the rest of his children, both males and females, an amount equal to its value and divides it among them, this is not just. It is obligatory for the father to be fair among his children in giving, by giving the female the same share as the male, or by giving the male the share of two females. The parent must rectify this error by giving the rest of the children the same amount he gave to that son, or by deducting from that son's share until it equals that of his brothers and sisters.
