Specifying Qadha Salaah
DAILY FIQH
Question: Is it necessary to specify when making Qadha Salaah?
Answer: Yes, in one's intention, it is necessary to specify the date and the exact Salaah one is performing when making Qadha Salaah. If a person offered Qadha without specifying it is, the Qadha will not be valid. It will have to be repeated.
If a person does not remember the number of Salaahs he missed, nor the exact dates of the missed Salaahs then he should make an intention in the following manner: "Of all the Fajr Salaahs that I have to make Qadha of, I am making Qadha of the first one that I missed (or the last one that I missed)"
The person should continue making his intention in this way for all his Qadha Salaahs. Once his heart is satisfied that Qadha of all missed Salaahs have been made, he can stop offering Qadha Salaah.

Father Gifts Wealth To Kids
DAILY FIQH
Question: Is it permissible for a father to give his wealth to his kids in his lifetime?
Answer: Yes, it is permissible for a father to gift his wealth to his kids during his lifetime. The father should maintain equality amongst his kids irrespective of their gender: males and females should be given equal.
It is undesirable for a person to give preference to one child over another, witout a valid reason. Valid reasons would be, e.g. one is exalted in Deen in comparison to the others, or one is more in need than others.
Furthermore, by giving preference it should not be that harm is intended to anyone.
