The Grade of the Hadith: "Start with Yourself, Then with Those You Are Responsible For"

Question:
The hadith says, "Start with yourself first, then with those you are responsible for." What is the grade of this hadith, and what is your explanation of "those you are responsible for"?

Answer:
Yes, there are hadiths on this; it is not just one hadith. The principle is that a person starts with himself in spending. If he has something left over from his own needs, he spends on his wife, then his parents, then his children, then his relatives, starting with the closest and moving to the next closest, and so on.
Whenever a person has a surplus, he extends his spending to the needs of his religion. There are many hadiths in this meaning: that a person starts with himself first, and if he has something left over from his own needs, he spends on his wife, then on his children, then on his parents, then on his relatives, starting with the closest and moving to the next closest. Yes.
And "those you are responsible for" means you spend on them. You provide for them. You provide for them. Or you support them. Yes.
