(Book 22, Hadith 17) #36095
Devoting Property to the Door of Kaba

SUMMARY: A man who devoted his property to the door of Kaba should do kaffara for it with the kaffara of an oath. If he breaks his oath, he should put a third of his property in the way of Allah.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Musa from Mansur ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Hajabi from his mother that A'isha, umm al- muminin, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked about a man who devoted his property to the door of Kaba. She said, "Let him do kaffara for it with the kaffara of the oath". Malik said, that someone who devoted all his property in the way of Allah, and then broke his oath, should put a third of his property in the way of Allah, as that was what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did in the case of Abu Lubaba.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحَجَبِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، - رضى الله عنها أَنَّهَا سُئِلَتْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ مَالِي فِي رِتَاجِ الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يُكَفِّرُهُ مَا يُكَفِّرُ الْيَمِينَ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الَّذِي يَقُولُ مَالِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَحْنَثُ قَالَ يَجْعَلُ ثُلُثَ مَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَذَلِكَ لِلَّذِي جَاءَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي أَمْرِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about devoting one's possessions to the door of Ka'ba as an act of worship and devotion. It was asked to A'isha, umm al-muminin, may Allah be pleased with her, what a man should do if he devoted all his property in the way of Allah but then broke his oath. She said that he should do kaffara for it with the kaffara for an oath which is putting a third of one's possessions in charity or freeing a slave or fasting three days consecutively. This hadith teaches us about fulfilling our promises and obligations even if we have devoted our possessions in charity as this is part and parcel of being faithful Muslims who are honest and trustworthy people. It also teaches us about giving back to society by donating some portion from our wealth as this will help those who are less fortunate than us and will bring blessings upon ourselves too.
