Sahih al-Bukhari 5351 (Book 69, Hadith 1) #5125
Charity in Family Spending

SUMMARY: Spending on one's family with the intention of receiving Allah's reward is considered as charity.

Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari: The Prophet said, "When a Muslim spends something on his family intending to receive Allah's reward it is regarded as Sadaqa for him".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَقُلْتُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَنْفَقَ الْمُسْلِمُ نَفَقَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهْوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا، كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when a Muslim spends money on their family with the intention of pleasing Allah and seeking His reward, it is considered as an act of charity. This means that even if we are spending money on our families for their needs and wants, if we do it with the intention to please Allah and seek His reward then it will be counted as an act of charity. This teaches us to always have good intentions in whatever we do so that our actions can be rewarded by Allah. It also encourages us to take care of our families and provide for them while still keeping in mind that all our actions should be done for the sake of pleasing Allah.
