Combining the hadith prohibiting charity for the People of the House with the hadith of Barirah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: How do we combine the hadith
Charity is not permissible for us, even though the clients of the people are from their own selvesلا تحل لنا الصدقة وإن موالي القوم من أنفسهم
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 6:99
, where the clients of the People of the House are not permitted to receive charity, with the hadith of Barirah and her taking of charity, even though she was Aisha’s slave? What is the reconciliation between the two hadiths?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that, saying: It is a gift for her, it is charity for her, it is charity upon her, and it is a gift for us. So she gave charity to her, then she gave it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and to his household. So she gave it to them as a gift, not as charity; it was a gift from her. Yes.
