The question

Is it permissible to give daily charity to the neighbors' children in the form of "chocolate, choco, and ice cream" with the intention of making them happy, knowing that their financial situation is moderate and they are not among the poor and needy, and given the difficulty of finding needy people daily and because the value of the intended charity is small?

The answer

The باب of charity is wide, and every good deed is charity. What the questioner asked about has its reward and فضيلة, and it involves connecting with neighbors, being kind to them, and bringing joy to their children. The fact that the neighbors are not poor does not prevent giving them voluntary charity, as it is permissible for the rich without dispute, and the one who gives it will be rewarded for it, but the needy are more deserving.
