The answer

One should be keen to give charity seeking Allah's pleasure, as Allah Almighty says: "And whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers," as long as it does not harm oneself or those whose maintenance is obligatory upon him. Saving for the future is permissible, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to save a year's worth of provisions for his family.
