The answer

There is no harm in donating used clothes; rather, it is considered commendable by some scholars for someone who has worn new clothes. The verse: "{You will never achieve righteousness until you spend from that which you love}," contains various interpretations regarding the meaning of "righteousness," what is to be spent, and the intent of spending. Donating used clothes falls under the category of giving charity from wealth that is beloved to a person.
