The answer

The diversity of obligatory charities (like on currency, fruits, crops, livestock, and trade goods) and supererogatory charities (which are broader in scope) is evidence of the comprehensiveness and ease of Islamic law. This aims to spread cooperation and help those in need. The concept of charity has expanded to include spiritual charity, for every good deed is a charity. Even the morsel a man places in his wife's mouth and his intimacy with her are considered charity. This demonstrates God's mercy, grace, and the breadth of His law, which aligns with the needs of His servants.
