Question:
Khawariyah says, “Shaykh Salih, I give charity even though my circumstances are very difficult, and I have read the hadithSunan an-Nasa'i 2544Sahih (Darussalam). What is the meaning of this?”
Answer:
This means that there is no contradiction between the two hadiths. The second hadith is Sunan an-Nasa'i 2544Sahih (Darussalam). So she gives charity in both cases, unless the charity burdens her in her expenses and her livelihood. In that case, she prioritizes her needs and gives charity from what is surplus. As for the wealthy person, charity does not affect him because his wealth is abundant. Yes.
