Question

I have a saving dividend (interest money) with my provident fund and will receive it when I resign or retire. Without expecting reward from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, may I donate the money to needy people from my current income?

Answer

You will give it out after you have received it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
