Charity

The Prophet Muhamad s.aw said: 'Charity is a necessity for every Muslim. ' He was asked: 'What if a person has nothing?' The Prophet s.a.w replied: 'He should work with his own hands for his benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity.' The Companions asked: 'What if he is not able to work?' The Prophet s.a.w said: 'He should help poor and needy persons.' The Companions further asked 'What if he cannot do even that?' The Prophet s.a.w said 'He should urge others to do good.' The Companions said 'What if he lacks that also?' The Prophet s.a.w said 'He should check himself from doing evil. That is also charity.'
