Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Welcome. This questioner says: What is the virtue of charity in Ramadan?
Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
The virtue of charity, if it is from good earnings, is that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, takes it in His right hand and grows it for its owner, so that what is equivalent to a date becomes like a great mountain. This is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2029Sahih (Darussalam)
The one who gives charity secretly is among those whom Allah shades in His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His. If he conceals the charity, that is better because it is stronger proof of sincerity and more considerate toward the recipient, so that he is not subjected to shame and bashfulness. Among the virtues of charity is that it is a cause for the expansion of the chest and the joy of the heart, because the more a person spends in good, the more his chest expands for Islam and he rejoices in it, and spending money becomes easy for him, as is experienced and observed.

And every person will be in the shade of his charity on the Day of Resurrection.
وكل امرئ في ظل صدقته يوم القيامة.Charity does not diminish wealth
وما نقصت صدقة من مال.The one who gives charity secretly is among those whom Allah shades in His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His. If he conceals the charity, that is better because it is stronger proof of sincerity and more considerate toward the recipient, so that he is not subjected to shame and bashfulness.
