Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : This questioner has a set of questions. In this question, he asks: Is there a reward for what a person spends on himself and his family from permissible things and necessities?

The Shaykh : Yes, whatever a person spends on himself and his family seeking the Face of Allah, he is rewarded for it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him):

You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah's sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth.

واعلم أنك لن تنفق نفقة تبتغي بها وجه الله إلا أجرت عليها حتى ما تجعله في في امرأتك

Sahih al-Bukhari 56

meaning in her mouth, meaning even the morsel your wife eats from your spending, you have a reward for it.
