Spending in the Way of Allah Spending in the way of Allah, whether obligatory or voluntary, is a way of increasing one’s rizq. The obligatory charity (with certain conditions) are two: zakat (given on certain types of livestock, agricultural produce, money and business items) and zakat-ul-fitr (given at the end of Ramadhan). The third type of charity is known as sadaqah which is encouraged at all places and times. A person can spend his charity on the poor or to help build a masjid, or support an Islamic school, or take responsibility for the welfare of an orphan, widows, or students of knowledge. “Say: truly, my Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills of His slaves, and (also) restricts (it) for him, and whatever you spend of anything (in Allah’s cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers.” (Surah Saba’, 39) The Prophet (salla Allahu aliahi wa sallam) said: “Allah has said: ‘O son of Adam! Spend, I will spend on you!’” (Authenticated by Albani)
