Parents must be just among their children in giving, and it is not permissible to favor some children over others in giving except for a legitimate reason, such as helping with marriage, or covering the expenses of medical treatment, or as a reward for academic success or memorizing the Quran. In this case, they are not obliged to give the others a similar gift. However, if the same reason recurs with another child, they must give to whoever meets the same condition.
