Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Giving charity to needy parents is better and brings greater reward from Allah, as it involves showing dutifulness to one's parents, and they have a greater right to your assistance than others. Start by fulfilling their needs; if anything remains after sufficiently providing for them, then you may give it as charity if you wish.
