The question

Is it better to spend on the poor and needy or on my fiancée, knowing that I used to save a portion of my allowance for charity, and now I direct this money to my fiancée to buy consumer goods for her, sometimes with the intention of feeding a fasting person, and other gifts to increase affection?

The answer

The best is to spend on the poor and the needy. It is permissible to give charity to a needy fiancée or to give gifts to her or her family to strengthen affection, with the caveat that the suitor is a stranger to his fiancée until the legal contract is concluded.
