The ruling on spending on a specific person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
He gives to those who do not fear Him. Yes.
The questioner:
If a specific person is known to call for this type.
The Shaykh:
No, encouragement is sufficient. It is sufficient to mention what Allah stated in the Qur'an: the encouragement that Allah will replace what is spent. However, one must be sincere to Allah, not doing it for showing off. One who spends in the cause of Allah has no fear of poverty. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Saba 34:39] But one should seek out the avenues of good in his spending. He should seek them out and begin with his wife and his family, who take precedence over others, as well as his children and those under his care, who take precedence.

But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers."
وَمَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
