Question:
He says: What is the best of the charities that one gives, O Shaykh?
Answer:
The best of charity is from the best of what a person eats, from the middle of what a person feeds others,[Al-Ma'idah 5:89], not from the good, and not from the bad. This is what is prescribed. If one gives from the good, it is better. If one gives from the bad, it is not sufficient. Yes.
