Does the Hadith: (Every person will be in the shade of his charity until judgment is passed among the people) or (until a ruling is made among the people) mean that charity is sufficient for Allah's right, and what remains is the right of the people?
His (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: “Every person will be in the shade of his charity until judgment is passed among the people,” means that charity will shade its giver on the Day of Resurrection in the plains of gathering, where the sun will draw near to creation. The one who gave charity will be in the shade of his charity until judgment and ruling are completed among the people.
This does not address the issue of charity abrogating the rights of Allah or the rights of His servants. Rather, charities are good deeds that remove minor sins. However, the rights of servants are not abrogated by an abundance of acts of worship. Instead, it is necessary to restore injustices or seek forgiveness from those whose rights were violated. Otherwise, on the Day of Resurrection, good deeds will be taken from the oppressor to compensate the oppressed.
