Question: Is it permissible for a parent to give all his/her wealth to one child during his/her lifetime?

Answer: Sayyidina Numan bin Bashir RA narrates: "My father gave me some of his wealth as a gift. My mother said that she would not be satisfied unless the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was made witness to it. My father took me to the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, who asked, "Do you have other sons besides him?" My father said, "Yes." The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, "Do not make me witness to injustice." ( Bukhari & Muslim)

Keeping the above in mind, it is undesirable for a parent to give preference to one child over another - whether male or female. All should be given equal during the parents lifetime.

However, if there is a valid Sharee reason, eg. one has excelled in Deen, or one is more in need than the others, - then, it will be permissible to give preference to one over the others. This is obviously with the conditions that there is no malicious intent.

Question: What is the ruling with regards to killing lizards?

Answer: In a Hadith it is reported:
عَنْ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ـ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْوَزَغِ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ كَانَ يَنْفُخُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ‏"‏‏.‏ [البخاري]
Um Sharik Radiyallahu Anha narrates that the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam ordered that lizards be killed and said, "It blew in to the fire of Ibraheem Alaihi Salaam."

It is also stated that when Baitul-Maqdis was put on fire, lizards blew into the flames to make it burn more.

It is because of these reason, we have been encouraged to kill lizards.
