In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a mother can give her property to some children while she is alive, but it must be done through a legal process called "hiba" (gift). The property must be fully handed over with possession. If the distribution is unfair and without a valid reason, it may be considered unjust in Islam, leading to punishment from Allah. Legally, a person can choose to give their property as a gift during their lifetime. However, inheritance should generally be equally divided among heirs.
