Minor signs

Wealth overflows; no one takes charity

Partly

In brief

The Prophet ﷺ said wealth will increase until it overflows, and a man will go out with his charity and find no one to accept it. The owner of wealth will worry about who will take his zakah, and when he offers it, the other will say, 'I have no need of it.'

This has come in waves. Historians record that in the time of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (99-101 AH), zakah collectors in some regions could not find poor people to give to. The hadith about Isa (AS) describe a time when wealth will be so plentiful that no one accepts it.

What to do

'Give charity, for a time will come when a man walks with his charity and finds no one to take it.' Give while it can still be accepted.
