Ṣulḥ: Validity of a Ṣulḥ Made in Favour of One Child Without Others’ Consent

English:

Question #1783:

A person gave his property to one of his sons through ṣulḥ in the absence of some of his children and without the agreement of those present. Should such an agreement still be valid?

Answer #1783:

For the owner to give one of his [would be] heirs some property through ṣulḥ during his lifetime is not dependent on the approval of the rest of the heirs. They have no right to object to it. However, it is not permissible if it causes discord among the children.
