He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it better to spend on oneself? He says: Is it better to spend on oneself, or to spend on the poor, if the income is limited?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) answered this by saying: Start with yourself, start with yourself, then with those you are responsible for. So you start with yourself first, then with those you are responsible for, such as your children, your parents, and your relatives, then your Muslim brothers. Yes.
