The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be
Upon him] said, “The best of Sadaqah is the Sadaqah given in Ramadhaan.”
[Narrated by a-Tirmidhee on the authority of Anas (May Allaah be Pleased with
him)]
Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzaan [May Allaah Preserve him] said:
Sadaqah given in Ramadhaan is better than giving
Sadaqah at any other time of the year, this is because the Prophet [Peace and
Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] called the month of Ramadhaan the month of
solace as he said, “If one gives away food to the fasting person so that he may
break his fast will have his sins forgiven, his neck will be freed from the
fire and for him there will be a reward like the fasting person he fed without
it decreasing the fasting persons reward in the slightest.”
This is clear evidence to prove that giving
Sadaqah in the month of Ramadhaan is better than any other month, especially
because it is the month of fasting and people are in need as they are hungry,
thirsty and have very little resources. So if a person comes and does good
during this month, then he is assisting in these fasting people in obeying
Allaah, the Glorified and the Exalted.
So the person who gives in this month will have
his good deeds multiplied, due to the fact that this month is blessed and good
deeds during this month, due to its nobility, rewards are multiplied. Just like good
deeds can be multiplied in relation to a particular place you may be in, then
the same applies to time. For example, praying in Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and
Masjid an-Nabawee in Madeenah an-Nabawiyyah, the reward for praying is
multiplied, this is because of the virtue of the place you are praying in.
Likewise, virtue of time is also true, so by doing good deeds during this time,
this month of Ramadhaan, then you will find your good deeds multiplied and
there is no other month greater than the month of Ramadhaan. Allaah has made
this month a season of goodness, acts of obedience and a time when people’s
statuses are raised.
