The ruling on placing an amount in a box every day with the intention of charity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among her questions, she says: Honorable Shaykh, I have a box for charity, and every day I put in a certain amount of money so that charity is recorded on every page of my deeds. Every day a poor person comes and I give him this charity. If I accumulate it, I give it to those who are entitled to it. Is my action correct, or is it a bid'ah (religious innovation), since my intention is that charity be recorded for me on every page?

Answer:
This is a good deed. Giving charity every day with whatever is easy is a good deed. However, you should take the initiative. There is no need to place a box. You should take the initiative to give out the charity. If you find a poor person, give it to him without placing it in a box. Yes.
