Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He,
(1) Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar. (2) So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone].إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ
[Al-Kawthar 108:1-2]
, is it taken from it that one who is provided with something, or to whom good comes from Allah, is prescribed to pray a voluntary prayer in gratitude to Allah, and to slaughter for Allah on account of this matter, taking this from the verse?

Answer:
No, this is not taken from it, but whoever is provided with some wealth should give charity from it,
And when [other] relatives and orphans and the needy are present at the [time of] division, then provide for themوَإِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ أُولُو الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَارْزُقُوهُم
[An-Nisa 4:8]
from it, so provide for them
out of the estate and speak to them words of appropriate kindness.مِّنْهُ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
[An-Nisa 4:8]
, giving charity from it is his gratitude, yes.
