Is it permissible to donate five riyals daily to attain the angels' supplication: "O Allah, grant a successor to him who spends [in charity]"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Charity (sadaqah) is among the best deeds and greatest acts of devotion. Allah has encouraged it and promised recompense to those who spend in charity, as He says: (And whatever you spend of anything, He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Every day two angels descend, and one of them says: 'O Allah, grant recompense to the one who spends [in charity],' and the other says: 'O Allah, bring destruction upon the one who withholds [charity].'" This is a promise of recompense for whoever spends seeking Allah's pleasure. The best charity is that given when one has sufficient means, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The best charity is that given when one has sufficient means, and begin with those whom you support."
