Surah Al-Baqara · Ayah 273·Madanī

273

ٱلَّذِينَ فِى لَا فِى مِنَ لَا وَمَا مِنْ فَإِنَّ بِهِۦ ﴿٢٧٣﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allah, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.
