A father gives a house to only one child: is it a sin?

The Prophet ﷺ commanded parents to be fair in giving gifts to their children. In the hadith of an-Nu'man bin Basyir, when his father wished to give a gift to an-Nu'man alone, the Prophet asked whether all his children had been given the same, then said: "Fear Allah and be fair between your children." The Shafi'i school rules favouritism without reason to be disliked (makruh), while the Hanbali school forbids it. Giving one child more for a reasonable cause, for example a child with a disability, a child who cares for the parents, or a child whose education has not yet been funded, is more readily accepted. Discuss it openly with all the children to avoid disputes after death.
Difference between schools. The Hanbali school requires fairness in gifts (hibah) to children (favouritism is forbidden); the Shafi'i, Hanafi and Maliki schools regard it as disliked (makruh) if without reason.
