If the spender intends to obtain both rewards through spending: the reward of this world and the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q4: Many of the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which encourage spending in the cause of Allah, link to it a reward in this world through blessing and by Allah replacing for the servant what he spent, as well as a reward in the Hereafter through reward and recompense. So, if the spender intends to obtain both rewards through spending, the reward of this world and the Hereafter, does he miss the reward of the Hereafter? And how should the intention be in such a case? I ask Allah the Exalted to increase you in knowledge and action.
A4: If the spender intends what Allah has promised regarding spending, namely the good of
this world and the Hereafter, there is nothing wrong with that; for Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:201], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2557b, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A4: If the spender intends what Allah has promised regarding spending, namely the good of
this world and the Hereafter, there is nothing wrong with that; for Allah the Exalted said:
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةًHe who likes that his sustenance should be expanded and his age may be lengthened should join the tie of kinship.
من أحب أن يبسط له في رزقه وينسأ له في أثره فليصل رحمه
