The Prophet (sallallaahu
‘alaihi wa sallam) said:
الكَلِمَةُ
الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ
(The
good word is charity.)[1]
Shaikh
Muhammad bin Saalih al-‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) mentioned:
“Charity is not
exclusive to wealth, rather everything that draws one close to Allaah is
charity in the general sense, because carrying it is a proof of the
truthfulness of its adherent in seeking the pleasures of Allaah, The
Mighty and Majestic.”[2]
