Spending on one’s family with the intention of sadaqah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: My friend is about to undergo surgery and prior to surgery, she wants to give sadaqah to her metarnal grandmother as she is needy too.

Whatever is spent on one’s family is the best sadaqah but we never intend to count it as sadaqah before spending. We just simply fulfill their needs. Can we make the niyyat of sadaqah before spending on my children, husband or other family members?

Bismillaah

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
