no one notices. The common practice of some people is that they place the money in the hand of an Imam and close the palm of the hand in a particular style. In this way it becomes evident or gives such impression that any monetary gift has been presented. Some people give pieces of paper with request for Du’a in a similar fashion, creating a misconception that ‘Nazranah’ was presented!

Up to this point, we have discussed some rulings and etiquettes of giving Sadaqah. Now the question arises that to whom is giving Sadaqah Afdal? In this regard, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ says that:
لِلۡفُقَرَ آءِ الَّذِیۡنَ اُحۡصِرُوۡا فِیۡ سَبِیۡلِ اللّٰہِ لَا یَسۡتَطِیۡعُوۡنَ ضَرۡبًا فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ۫ یَحۡسَبُہُمُ الۡجَاہِلُ اَغۡنِیَآءَ مِنَ التَّعَفُّفِ ۚ تَعۡـرِفُہُمۡ بِسِیۡمٰہُمۡ ۚ لَا یَسۡـَٔلُوۡنَ النَّاسَ اِلۡحَا فًا ؕ وَ مَا تُنۡفِقُوۡ ا مِنۡ خَیۡرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰہَ بِہٖ عَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۲۷۳﴾٪
For those poor who are restricted while in Allah’s cause, who cannot travel in the land (for earning) – the unwise think they are wealthy because of their restraint; you will recognise them by their faces; they do not seek from people in order to avoid persistent (begging); and Allah knows whatever you spend in charity.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 3, Al-Baqarah, verse 273)
