Adding extra money for one child so that the investment for both children will be equal

· 30 Safar 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I've got two sons. They're toddlers.

My elder son received alot of money as a gift when he was a baby while the second one didn't receive as much. I was thinking of converting their cash to gold. Will it be okay for me to give money to add only to the younger one so I can get the same amount of gold for each child or will it be unfair to the older child?

We will not inform them of this when they are older.

Answer

It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
