The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that the channels of spending in good causes are many, including spending in Jihad for the sake of Allah, in manumitting slaves, on the needy, and on one's family and dependents. The best of these is the spending on one's family because it is obligatory. The reward for obligatory spending is greater than that for recommended spending.

• The upper hand is better than the lower hand; the upper hand is the giving hand, and the lower hand is the begging hand
• There should be no envy except in two (cases): A man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom and he judges according to it and teaches it to others
• The best charity is that which is given out of richness. The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and let one of you start with those whom he is responsible to provide for
• My heirs should not take a dinar or dirham. Whatever I leave behind, excluding the provision for my wives and my employees, should be spent in charity
