Refraining from giving sadaqah to someone due to their ill behaviour
Question
I used to have a maid to whom I used to give a certain amount as sadqa every month. But now she has left the job and is badmouthing me infront of everybody. I am very upset by this. Can I stop giving her sadqa and give the amount to some other needy person?
Answer
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
