			There's a couple of issues related to this topic of allowable justice with the children. Let me
quickly just highlight them with you. Number one, there is a difference between giving your kids
gifts and between necessary spending on them. There's a difference what the Hadith means. And when
we mean justice between children, then we mean in terms of gifts, if you're going to give one
something, you're going to have to give the other one exactly the same thing. Unless otherwise, he
agrees that you want something else. In gifting. It must be justice, it must be equal. But
unnecessary spending, it doesn't have to be equal. What does that mean? It means any necessary

			spending, it's going to be different according to everyone's needs. Maybe in the house, there's a
child that is, let's say, sick or disabled. And his spending is much more than his brothers and
sisters. So as a result, there is no problem in that. Let's say a child of yours is in university,
or he's in school and his spendings are much more than his brothers and sisters because they're
still in primary school, whatever it is, so in this case, there's no problem. One can be given more
than his brothers and sisters because this is about necessary spending. But in terms of gifts, it is
supposed to be equal across for all unless otherwise that the children only agree for it to the

			to be different.
