Will a Muslim be rewarded for financially assisting his brother who is about to get married if he intends the reward and recompense from Allah, and not charity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If your brother is in need of assistance, then helping him with that money is considered a charity for which you will be rewarded, and its reward is greater than helping others, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Charity given to a poor person is charity, and charity given to a relative is two things: charity and maintaining kinship ties." However, if he is not in need, then giving him money is considered a gift for which you will be rewarded for your good intention and for maintaining your kinship ties.
