The answer

A father must be just in giving gifts to his children, and it is forbidden to favor some over others unless they consent. However, if a son is disobedient, there is no harm in the father withholding gifts and donations from him, with the aim of disciplining him and prompting him to return to what is right. If the father dies having favored some children in gift-giving without the consent of the others, the money must be included in the inheritance to be divided among the heirs. As for obligatory maintenance, each child is given what they need without being bound by absolute justice in the giving of gifts.
