SahihHR. Muslim 995
Spending on one's family is the greatest sadaqah
Written by Tim Baby Mo
دِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَدِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ فِي رَقَبَةٍ، وَدِينَارٌ تَصَدَّقْتَ بِهِ عَلَى مِسْكِينٍ، وَدِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ، أَعْظَمُهَا أَجْرًا الَّذِي أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ
Meaning
A dinar spent in Allah's cause, a dinar spent to free a slave, a dinar given to a poor person, and a dinar spent on your family — the greatest in reward is the one spent on your family.
Narrator: Abu Hurairah
Note for parents
Buying milk for your child, school clothes, shoes that fit — those are sadaqah. What gets dismissed as 'just expenses' is an act greater than charity in Allah's path. Don't feel small when your income goes to your family — that is the largest reward.
