Which is better: giving to the poor or buying books

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And in what case is one better than the other: giving to the poor or the condition of directing them?

Answer:
It depends on the need. If there are poor people in need of food and clothing, they are more deserving than books. But if there are no poor people, and there are students of knowledge who cannot afford to buy books, then buying books for them is better. The situation varies according to the circumstances. Yes.
