Spending on Colleagues with the Intention of Charity

Question:
And for any matter, if he stands firm with his strongest colleague at his own expense, or gives a friend of his a portion of his wealth, is this recorded as charity and not wasted?

Answer:
There is nothing but by intention. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Actions are only by intentions," and indeed . It is not considered charity except with two conditions. The first condition is that these people are poor. If their colleagues are poor, the second condition is that he intends it; he intends charity from it, so it becomes charity. But if they are rich, this is not charity; it is from the customs and generosity among them, from the permissible things, but it is not charity. Or if he does not intend it, it is not charity except by intention. Yes.
