Is it better to increase charity for the first person [already receiving it] or to give it to another relative, after a salary increase?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We congratulate the questioner for his eagerness to give charity. It is best to give charity to the closest relatives first, unless a more distant relative is in greater need, in which case they should be prioritized. If they are equal in kinship and need, it is better to give to the one who is more righteous and upright. The questioner is not obligated to give the extra charity to a specific relative; he may give it to whomever he wishes.
