(A man to whom Allah granted wealth, so He empowered him to spend it in the cause of truth) If he dies and has wealth with him, does he fall under this?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...
one having been endowed with wealth and power to spend it in the cause of Truth رجل آتاه الله مالاً فسلطه على هلكته في الحق
Sahih Muslim 816
Meaning, if he dies and some of his wealth remains?

The Shaykh : Yes, in the sense that he does not destroy all the wealth; "destroying it" means destroying what he spends from it.

The questioner : Is there a fixed amount for it, or not?

The Shaykh : No, it is whatever the situation requires; whenever he sees a right and is able to give it, he gives it, regardless of the proportion.
