Obligation of Charity on Horses and Slaves

SUMMARY: Charity is not obligatory for a Muslim to give from his horse or slave.

Abu Hurairah narrated that : the Messenger of Allah said: "There is no charity due from a Muslim for his horse nor his slave".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، وَشُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ فِي فَرَسِهِ وَلاَ فِي عَبْدِهِ صَدَقَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الْخَيْلِ السَّائِمَةِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلاَ فِي الرَّقِيقِ إِذَا كَانُوا لِلْخِدْمَةِ صَدَقَةٌ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونُوا لِلتِّجَارَةِ فَإِذَا كَانُوا لِلتِّجَارَةِ فَفِي أَثْمَانِهِمُ الزَّكَاةُ إِذَا حَالَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَوْلُ

Give generously when able & show kindness & compassion towards animals & people alike

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the obligation of charity on horses and slaves. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that there is no charity due from a Muslim for his horse nor his slave. This means that it is not obligatory for a Muslim to give charity from their horses or slaves, as they are already owned by the person and do not need to be given away in charity. However, it does not mean that one cannot give away their horses or slaves in charity if they wish to do so. It simply means that it is not an obligation upon them to do so. The values taught in this hadith are generosity, kindness, and compassion towards animals and people alike, as well as understanding the importance of giving back when one has been blessed with something valuable such as a horse or slave.
