Helping one's brother who is in need
Question
I took a project and decided that some percentage of the profit I will give to my brother who is sick. And some I will give in the way of Allah. After finishing my project I give some money to my brother but now my brother asked me for more money. He is jobless and due to illness he can't do any job. Can I also give the other share to him?
Answer
Helping your needy brother is also spending in the path of Allah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
