Helping Relatives Is Charity?

Giving Zakat to one's husband and orphans under one's protection.

(Narrated 'Amr bin Al-Harith): Zainad, the wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) further to her Hadith (No. 741), said almost the same, but added in this quotation I went to the Prophet (SAW) and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet (SAW) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, "Ask the Prophet (SAW) whether it is permissible for me to spend (in charity) on my husband and the orphans under my protection." (So Bilal went inside) and asked the Prophet (regarding our problem).

The Prophet (SAW) said: "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double reward (for that): ONE FOR HELPING RELATIVES, AND THE OTHER FOR GIVING CHARITY."
