Forgot to give alms at dawn
Forgot to give alms at dawn
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Ustadz, I want to ask a question.
I usually donate at dawn. But once, after Fajr prayer I forgot to give alms. How is that? Do I have to repeat the alms from the first day, or continue tomorrow with the next day?
Thank you, Ustadz.
Greetings, Fulanah

Bismillah... Giving charity is proof of the truth of a believer's faith. Charity can be at any time. However, there are some times that are best for giving charity, such as the month of Ramadan, the first 10 days of the month of Dzulhijjah, and so on.
Including alms in the morning, based on the hadith which reads:
الَ: الَ ل اللَّه : ا يُصبِحُ العِبادُ إِلَّا لَكَانِ لانِ، لُ ا: اللَّهُمَّ ا لَفًا، لُ الآخَرُ: الل (مُمْسِكًل )
From Abu Hurairah radiyallahu 'anhu, he said, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said: "Every morning, two angels descend to accompany a servant. One prays: O Allah, give compensation for those who give charity. And the other said: O Allah, give mischief to the miser. (Narrated by Bukhari Muslim)
If a person is used to giving alms in the morning, then he forgets to give alms one morning, then he is not included in the group of people who are prayed for by angels as in the hadith above. It's just that even though the morning has passed, he can still give alms on the same day without having to wait for tomorrow morning, also without having to repeat the count of the first day. The next morning, continue to give alms as usual.
Hope it works!
Wallâhu a'lam bish-showâb.
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
