"AND THEY ASK YOU AS TO WHAT THEY SHOULD SPEND. SAY, "THE SURPLUS". (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:219)
It has been reported that after hearing about the reward (Thawab) for Sadaqah some of the Holy Companions (Sahaba) gave all their possessions in Sadaqah leaving nothing for themselves and their families, letting their family members go hungry. This verse tells us that only that voluntary charity (Sadaqah) is correct and proper which is given after fulfilling one's own and one's family's needs first. In many Ahadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ has stressed that people should only give as much Sadaqah that it doesn't leave their family members poor and destitute.
