Father selling some of his possessions to some of his children
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question
: Is it permissible for a man to sell something from his possessions to some of his children, knowing that some of them are able to purchase, whilst others do not have anything and are unable to purchase?

Response: It is permissible for a man to sell some of his possessions to some of his children, if he (the child) is able to purchase, and he should deal with him as he would deal with a stranger; He should not give him any preferential treatment indicating that he favours him over his siblings.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
