A woman asks which is more important: she has a sum of money, should she give it in charity, or should she partner with her husband in buying a piece of land?

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.

The questioner : Shaykh, I have a question, my father asked me to ask you.

The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.

The questioner : I have with me... I want to put them in ongoing charity, but my husband will object... Do you want to partner with me in buying a piece of land, which is more beneficial?

The Shaykh : What does he say to you?

The questioner : Partner with me in a piece of land... Put them in a piece of land.

The Shaykh : What is the value of the piece of land?

The questioner : Our home, because we do not have a house, we are renting.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And is your husband poor or rich?

The questioner : By Allah, he is poor, he has nothing available to him except what I have, a little, and we need to help him from it and from me, meaning.

The Shaykh : The closest relatives are more entitled to kindness.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : So your husband and your children are more entitled to this money than the charity you are asking about.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Is it clear to you?

The questioner : Yes, I understood, yes.

The Shaykh : Okay, do you have anything else?

The questioner: There is another question.

The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.
