Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is better: giving one-third of one's wealth in charity or giving all of it?

Answer:
He must retain what benefits him and not give it all away, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ka'b:
Keep some of your wealth for yourself; that is better for you.أمسك عليك بعض مالك فهو خيرٌ لك
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3823Sahih (Darussalam)
. So he should give what is easy for him, retain what helps him in obeying Allah, and spend on his family.
