29 6 CHARITY O nce the Holy Prophet sa came to Hadrat Juwairiyah ra and asked, “Is there anything to eat?” She replied, “O Messenger of Allah sa , my maidservant received some meat as charity and has given it to me as a gift. That is all I have. ” He responded, “Then bring it. The charity has reached its intended recipient. ” 18 Hadrat Juwairiyah ra remembered this incident and narrated it later. This is a great favour she bestowed upon the Muslims, because this narration makes an issue very clear. The Holy Prophet sa had forbidden his family members from eating anything that was charity.
