Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: If someone asks me for help, and I have only enough money to cover my days and return to my country, am I being stingy toward him? And I seek Allah's forgiveness for miserliness.
Answer:
If you have only what is sufficient for you and to return to your country, there is no blame on you. But if you have something extra beyond your needs, give charity to the needy and give to those who ask. As for if you have only what is sufficient for you, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Begin with those you are responsible for.
