Allocating a certain sum for one of one's children


361

Q 2: Is it permissible for me to pay the costs of repairing the house after agreeing with the youngest son that I would pay off the bank and he would own the house? Do I have to give his brothers the same amount that I give him for the cost of repairs? (Part No. 11; Page No. 270)  A: If you cover the costs on behalf of your son - after agreeing with him - to have his house repaired, there is nothing wrong in this. Q 3: What do I do with the price of the two pieces of land on which a house and an annex are built? Their value is 59,000 riyals. Is it permissible for me to relinquish them to him? Do they belong to the inheritors after my death and thus he must give back the land to them? Or Should he give it to me right now? If I, his brothers and sisters cede the land to him, am I discharged of the responsibility? What should I do?

If I, his brothers and sisters cede the land to him, am I discharged of the responsibility? What should I do? A: It is impermissible for you to cede the aforementioned land or any part of your money to one of your sons to the exclusion of the others, as this is injustice and is forbidden by Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him). However, if his siblings, who are legally accountable, relinquish it, there is nothing wrong in giving it to him.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
