▣ 5. Giving Charity

Shaykh Uthaymīn رحمه الله mentioned:

What is more correct is that the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah is more prefered (to the last ten days of Ramadan) due to the statement of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم

ما من أيامٍ العمل الصالح فيها أحبُّ إلى الله من هذه الأيامِ ( يعني أيامَ العشر ) . قالوا : يا رسول الله ، ولا الجهادُ في سبيل الله ؟ قال : ولا الجهادُ في سبيل الله إلا رجلٌ خرج بنفسه وماله فلم يرجعْ من ذلك بشيء "

"There are no days in which a righteous deed done in it is more beloved to Allah than these (first ten days of ad-haa) . Then some (companions) asked: Not even Jihad in the path of Allah?" He replied: Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, except that of a man who goes out with himself and his wealth and does not return with anything at that.

Abu Dawud 2438 transmitted it, on the authority of Ibnu Abbaas رضي الله عنهما and Shaykh Al-Albaanee authenticated it. Check Sharh Mumti 6/97.

He رحمه الله further said:
Charity does not have a fixed period to give, rather, you can give it at any time, some people spend it during Ramadan while others give at the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and whoever spends in that, then for him is a great reward, because good deeds multiply at the virtues period and place. Majmoo fatawa wa rasaa'il Ibnu Uthaymīn 20/45.

Ummu Salamah رضي الله عنها narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
