Giving Sadaqah to Family Members
It is permission to give Sadaqah to your poor relatives or family members unless you do not inherit from them.
Giving zakah to relatives who are entitled to it is better than giving it to those who are not your relatives because giving charity to relatives is both charity and upholding the ties of kinship. The Prophet (PBUH) said …
“Charity given to a poor person is charity, but charity given to a relative is two things, charity and upholding the ties of kinship.”.
Giving Sadaqah to Father and Mother

Giving Sadaqah to Wife
The Prophet said, “When a Muslim spends something on his family intending to receive Allah’s reward, it is regarded as Sadaqa for him.”
You can give Sadaqah to your wife in many ways, like; providing for your wife’s needs, being honest and compassionate with her, and many others.
Giving Sadaqah to Poor Relatives
Giving Sadaqah to relatives is the best kind of Sadaqah.
As our beloved Prophet said: “The best of charity is to your needy relatives.”.
Giving Sadaqah to Relatives and Family Members in Quran and Hadith
Allah in the Quran said:
They ask you, O Prophet, what ways they should spend charitably. Say to them: Whatever good offering you pay is for your parents, and nearest relatives, orphans, the indigent, and the needy wayfarers. And whatever good you do, God is, indeed, all-knowing of it. (Quran 2:215).
Also, as we mentioned, the best charity is to your needy relatives.
Qurbani Rules for a Dead Family Member
Giving a Qurbani to a dead family member is permissible like our Prophet (SAW) did.
He offered the sacrifice on behalf of himself and his family members, some of whom had previously died.
It is offered on their behalf and on behalf of the living. When a man offers a sacrifice on behalf of himself and the members of his family and intends thereby both those who are alive and those who are dead.
And offering the sacrifice for the dead to fulfill their last wishes. This is obligatory except in the case of one who cannot do it; Allah (SWT) said in the Quran …
“Then whoever changes the bequest after hearing it, the sin shall be on those who make the change. Truly, Allaah is All-Hearer, All-Knower” (Quran 2:181)
Sadaqah for a Sick Person
