Charity for the Needy

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to give charity to a rich person or one who is independent of means, or one who is strong and healthy.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'It is not permissible to give charity to a rich man (or one who is independent of means) or to one who is strong and healthy"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلاَ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give charity only when it's needed

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Abu Hurairah teaches us that it is not permissible to give charity to those who are already wealthy, independent of means, strong and healthy. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching us that charity should be given only to those in need. He wanted us to prioritize helping those who are poor and weak instead of giving money away indiscriminately. We should use our resources wisely and help those in need first before giving away our wealth without thought. This hadith also teaches us the importance of being generous with our wealth and helping others when we can. We should strive to be kind-hearted people by using our resources wisely so that we can help as many people as possible in need.
