Abu Mas‘ūd al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a man spends something on his family, seeking reward from Allah for it, it shall be recorded for him as charity."
If a man spends on his family members whom he is required to support, as well as others, thereby seeking closeness to Allah, the Almighty, and desiring His reward, he shall be rewarded for his spending as if he has given charity to the poor and the like.
