Giving charity while in debt

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Muhammad from Dammam. He says: I am a man in debt, and only a little of my salary remains after expenses. I spend some of it on my family, and sometimes I give charity from it to charitable projects, with the intention of paying off my debt and relieving distress. Is my action correct?

Answer:
No, it is not correct. You are giving charity while you have debts. Start with the debts, start with the debts and pay them off. If you have any surplus money or extra money left, then give charity. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
