Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Hajj : 35
الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَ جِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ عَلٰى مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ وَ الْمُقِیْمِی الصَّلٰوةِ١ۙ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ
whose hearts shiver whenever Allah is mentioned, who patiently bear whatever affliction comes to them, who establish Prayer, and who spend (for good purposes) out of what We have provided them. 66
66. It means that righteous people spend their lawful provisions in the way of Allah to meet their own and their dependents’lawful needs, to help their relatives, neighbors and other needy people, on public works and propagation of the word of Allah. It does not include expenditure in unlawful ways for unlawful purposes. The Quranic term lnfaq implies neither over spending nor being miserly and stingy, but spending one’s wealth on himself and others according to his means and status in society.
