Question

As we always learnt that we should always keep in mind the virtues of actions in front of us whilst doing a good action and keep on checking our niyyat.

I would like to find out what is the reward of loaning wealth to someone that is in a financial situation to fulfill a need/necessity .

Answer

There is a great reward for giving an interest free loan. In many situations, loaning the person with good intentions and provided you are considerate and compassionate to the one you had lent the money to, it becomes much more rewarding than charitable works.

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