Breaking Fast & Charity

SUMMARY: Breaking fast with a date-fruit is blessed, and if not available, break it with water. Charity towards a poor person is charity and towards a relation is both charity and maintaining the ties of kinship.

Salman bin 'Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet said, "When you break fast, you should do it with a date-fruit for there is blessing in it, and if you do not find a date- fruit, break it with water for it is pure". Messenger of Allah added: "Charity towards a poor person is charity, and towards a relation is both charity and maintaining the ties (of kinship)". At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of breaking fast with either a date fruit or water. It also emphasizes on the importance of charity, especially to those who are in need. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when we give charity to those who are in need, it is an act of kindness as well as an act that strengthens our relationship with them. He also taught us that even if we don't have much to give, even something small like water can be beneficial for others and ourselves too. We should always strive to help others whenever possible because it will bring us closer to Allah SWT and increase our blessings from Him too.
