What is the authenticity of the hadith: "There is no charity while a relative is in need"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned Hadith, with this precise wording, has not been found in the books of Hadith. However, a portion of a Hadith with a similar meaning is present in Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat by Al-Tabarani. This Hadith was deemed weak by Al-Albani in Silsilat Al-Ahadith Ad-Da‘ifah wal-Mawdu‘ah (The Series of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths). Its weakness is due to defects in its chain of narration, including: the weakness of Abdullah ibn Amir Al-Aslami, Khalid ibn Nizar Al-Ayli who makes mistakes, and Al-Miqdam ibn Dawud who is not trustworthy.
