When a person does this charity he/she must not have bad intention or any expectations from other person. The charity is done to please Allah and also to follow his path of truth and righteousness.
Donations to needy According to Quran giving out little wealth will
not make a person poor, so he must keep what is required for him and share the rest with people who are in real need. It is also believed that people who do such Islamic donation will yield reward and better living in the next life. People who are not capable of helping other must at least try to help one another and they must never try to hurt anyone. Making donations to others in cash and kind can help individuals yield a good life even after death and also in next life.
