Charity Requirements for Dates, Silver and Camels

SUMMARY: No charity is required for small amounts of dates, silver, and camels.

It was narrated from Abu Sa 'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah said: "No Sadaqah is due on less than five Awsuq of dates, no Sadaqah is due on less than five Awaq of silver, and no Sadaqah is due on less than five Dhawd (head) of camels.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ الْمَازِنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوْسُقٍ مِنَ التَّمْرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ أَوَاقٍ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that no charity is required to be given on small amounts of dates, silver or camels. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that if we have less than five Awsuq of dates, five Awaq of silver or five Dhawd of camels then no charity is due on them. This hadith teaches us the importance of being generous with our wealth and possessions but also reminds us to be mindful when giving away our money as it should not be done in excess. We should always remember that Allah has blessed us with wealth so we can use it to help those who are in need.
