Treating one’s children unjustly

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I know a man in our neighbour who is married twice. He divorced his first wife and has a daughter from her who is living with him not with her mother. And from the second wife he has a daughter too. But he does clear injustice between his daughters in many ways.

On social media he always posts pictures of his daughter from his current wife and never mentions the elder daughter. I know that girl is hurt by the deeds of her own father. And instead of asking her father, people ask that girl why your father does not post pics or mention you, why does he not care about you? She is always bullied by the people. What do you say about that man and will the poor girl be rewarded in the Aakhirah due to her sabar? 

Bismillaah

A: Taking pictures is haraam and not doing justice is also impermissible.

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