Righteous

Alms are meant for the poor, the needy, those who administer them, those whose hearts need reassurance, freeing captives, aiding the indebted, supporting Allah’s cause, and assisting stranded travellers. This is a duty ordained by Allah.

9:60The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.

True righteousness is in one who gives wealth, despite loving it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, travellers, and those who ask for help, and for freeing slaves.

2:177It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.

The one who gives his wealth to purify himself

92:18Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).

Seeking nothing in return

92:19And none hath with him any favour for reward,
