Question

Can the following Hadith be quoted?

إذا أنفق المسلم نفقة على أهله، وهو يحتسبها، كانت له صدقة

Answer

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith in his Sahih. The Hadith is therefore authentic and may be quoted.

Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Al Ansari (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When a Muslim spends on his family, seeking the reward of Allah, it is counted for him as charity,”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 5351)
