Second: Generosity

It is to spend according to a plan, and it is what the intellect and Islamic Law—or one of them—has commanded us to, like the obligations, then the praiseworthy actions. What the human has saved for oneself is considered as a deposited treasure which is to be used at the time of one’s necessity. Whoever knows by oneself how to be patient when s/he needs the people, or whoever knows according to habit that when one spends money, one will be compensated with better money, then it will be good for him to spend all of his money or some of it according to what one knows from one’s condition. Whoever do not know this himself and did not have confidence that the remaining money will be sufficient for him after rendering the obligations, then one will have to do with his present life, and limit himself to the needy people.

Yes, generosity and charity to the others is praised according to the intellect and revealed text. But this is not considered good except with the good intention. Also, the granter should be sure that the granted one will not use this granted money in acts of disobedience. One must also ensure that the bounty will not overburden the grantor’s situation, as what is previously mentioned in details.
