The virtue of a woman helping her husband maintain family ties
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: My husband takes a monthly amount from his salary and allocates it to one of his needy relatives. I encourage him to do so and encourage him to maintain his family ties. Do I have a reward for this specifically regarding the charity, or is it only he who receives the reward on the basis that it is from his salary, while I do not work? And is there a reward in my dealings with my husband's family, since they are not among my own relatives?
Answer:
You have done well in that, and you have a great reward, and he has a great reward. May Allah reward him with good, and he has the glad tidings of replacement from Allah and reward. Allah the Exalted says:[Saba:39], and Hein His great Book:[Al-Baqarah:245], and He the Exalted says:[Al-Muzzammil:20], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 56, and he said regarding the womb, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: Sahih al-Bukhari 5989.
And you have a reward in the encouragement and exhortation. You have a great reward because your work is in the category of assisting in good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1425Sahih (Darussalam), and Allah the Exalted says in His great Book: [Surat al-Ma'idah: 2]. So you have a reward, and be glad with the good. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Answer:
You have done well in that, and you have a great reward, and he has a great reward. May Allah reward him with good, and he has the glad tidings of replacement from Allah and reward. Allah the Exalted says:
But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers."
وَمَا أَنفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَWho is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًاAnd whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward
وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًاAnyone who wants to have his provision expanded and his term of life prolonged should maintain ties of kinship.
من أحب أن يبسط له في رزقه، وأن ينسأ له في أجله فليصل رحمهwhosoever keeps good relations with it (womb i.e. Kith and kin), Allah will keep good relations with him, and whosoever will sever it (i.e. severs his bonds of Kith and kin) Allah too will sever His relations with him.
من وصلها وصلته، ومن قطعها قطعتهAnd you have a reward in the encouragement and exhortation. You have a great reward because your work is in the category of assisting in good. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
And Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother.
والله في عون العبد ما كان العبد في عون أخيهcooperate in righteousness and piety
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىThe presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
