Charity is one of the best and most beneficial deeds, especially when consistently performed daily. Your intention to give a specific amount in charity daily, but delaying its actual disbursement until the end of the month, falls under the category of resolving to do a good deed. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever intends to do a good deed and does not do it, a good deed is recorded for him; and if he intends to do it and does it, Allah records it for him as ten good deeds."
