The answer

This transaction is considered a loan with interest, which is forbidden usury (riba) and impermissible to engage in. There is a consensus that "if a loan (salaf) is conditioned upon a tenth of the loan as a gift, or an increase, and one loans it on that basis, then taking the increase is usury."

It is obligatory to be just among children in giving gifts and loans, and it is not permissible to single out one of them with it while excluding their needy siblings.
