May Allah send blessings upon you. Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: What is the difference between a gift and charity in terms of reward?
Answer:
Charity is not the same as a gift. You give charity to the poor, whereas a gift is given to the poor and the rich alike; you give it to whom you wish, whether poor or rich. As for charity, it is not valid except for the poor and the needy. Yes.
