In the Name of Allah.
Month of Ramadhan is also known as Month of giving.
It is reported that “The Prophet (pbuh) was naturally the most generous of people and he used to be more generous than ever in the month of Ramadan”. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31, Number 126)
“The best charity is that given in Ramadhan.” [At-Tirmithi].
In Ramadhan, we have to give as our Prophet (PBUH) did, and help people with money, hands, speech, and thoughts (Duas). If you can afford, give charity. If you can't afford it, still give. Our faith is to beleive the words of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to be true, and he said.
Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reported Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.s.) as saying: “Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth...” (Muslim Vol. 4, Hadith 6264)
We have to give from what we love, and not from extra or left over or used. If you love a dress that you haven't wore yet, wrap it up and give as a charity. We muslims do not give priority to wordly belongings as their value is very small in front of the rewards we can acheive by giving it away.
"You can never attain perfect piety until you spend from that (wealth) which you love. Whatever you spend, Allah knows well." (Surah Aale Imraan)
Let's make intention to give, and then give double that amount. InshaAllah Allah will increase our wealth.
