<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) We are prohibited from withholding charity fearing we will run out of money. This constitutes distrust of Allah Almighty.<br>
2) A person is recompensed by something similar to his action. So, whoever withholds the right of Allah, he will be punished by suffering straitened circumstances.
