Sahih al-Bukhari 6822 (Book 86, Hadith 50) #6563
Giving Charity During Ramadan

SUMMARY: A man who had sexual relations with his wife while fasting in Ramadan was asked to give charity, but he had nothing. The Prophet then told him to take the food that was brought and eat it himself.

Narrated 'Aisha: A man came to the Prophet in the mosque and said, "I am burnt (ruined)!" The Prophet asked him, "With what (what have you done)?" He said, "I have had sexual relation with my wife in the month of Ramadan (while fasting)". The Prophet said to him, "Give in charity". He said, "I have nothing". The man sat down, and in the meantime there came a person driving a donkey carrying food to the Prophet . (The sub-narrator, 'Abdur Rahman added: I do not know what kind of food it was). On that the Prophet said, "Where is the burnt person?" The man said, "Here I am". The Prophet said to him, "Take this (food) and give it in charity (to someone)". The man said, "To a poorer person than l? My family has nothing to eat". Then the Prophet said to him, "Then eat it yourselves".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who committed a sin by having sexual relations with his wife while fasting during the month of Ramadan. When he confessed this to the Prophet, he was asked to give charity as a form of repentance for his sin. However, when the man said that he did not have anything to give in charity, the Prophet told him that he could take the food that was brought and eat it himself instead. This teaches us an important lesson about giving charity during Ramadan; even if we do not have money or material possessions, we can still help those less fortunate than us by donating our time or energy towards helping others in need. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to be mindful of their actions during this holy month and strive for righteousness even when faced with difficult situations.
