FIQH 3.103: GIVING ALL OF ONE’S PROPERTY IN SADAQAH
The jurists say that giving all of one’s property in sadaqah is permissible provided the donor is fit, earning, and steadfast, not in debt, nor has dependents for whom adequate support from him is obligatory. If he does not fulfil these conditions, then his action is makruh.
Jabir narrated: “While we were with the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, a man came with what was like an egg of gold. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I obtained this from buried treasure, so take it. It is sadaqah, and I do not possess anything other than it.’ The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, turned away from him and he [the man] then approached him from the direction of his left side. The Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, then turned away from him again and he approached him from behind. Then the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, took it and threw it at him. If it had hit him, it would have injured him. Then he said: ‘One of you comes with all his property to make sadaqah, then after [giving all he had] he sits [by the road] begging from the people. Sadaqah is given by the one who is rich.’ ” This is related by Abu Dawud and Hakim. The latter said: “It is authentic according to the stipulation of Muslim. In its transcription is Muhammad ibn Ishaq.”
Fiqh 3.103 a: Giving Sadaqah to the Zhimmi and the Soldier
One can give sadaqah to the zhimmi and the soldier, and one is rewarded for that. Allah praised a group of people (for this) when He said: “And they feed, for His love, the indigent, orphan, and captive” [ad-Dahr 6]. The captive is a soldier. Allah says: “Allah has not forbidden you with regard to those who have not made war against you on account of [your] faith and have not driven you out of your homes to deal kindly and justly with them; Allah loves those who are just” [al-Mumtahanah 8].
Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr, reports: “My mother came to me and she is a polytheist. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace! If my mother came to me and she is willing, do I establish a link with her?’ He said: ‘Yes, establish a link with your mother.’ “
