What is the meaning of generosity (karam) in Islam? And is one who burdens himself and takes on debt to feed people considered generous, or rather one who shows generosity with what is available to him? And is there any Sharia evidence for generosity?

Generosity is the opposite of stinginess. It is defined as spending a large amount of money with ease on significant matters that yield great benefit, or offering kindness before being asked. It is a noble characteristic that Allah and His Messenger love, for Allah is Generous and loves generosity, and loves the generous.

Feeding people and honoring guests are branches of faith. However, a Muslim should not go to excessive lengths in this beyond their means. Generosity is a virtue that lies between the two vices of stinginess and extravagance, and it varies according to individuals and circumstances.
