«اِلْحَسَنَهْ مَا تْجُوزْشْ إِلَّا بَعْدِ كَفْوِ الْبِيتْ»

Charity toward others is proper only when it comes from surplus. A person's first duty is to meet the basic needs of their own home; giving away what the family itself requires is not true virtue but a misplaced priority.

The verb echoes religious-legal talk of what is permissible, yet this is folk wisdom, not a formal ruling. It puts care for one's own dependents ahead of public displays of piety, treating responsible provision at home as the foundation of any charitable act.

Fits moments when someone is tempted to give generously while their own family goes short. It is a reminder that household needs come before outside giving, and can gently justify declining a request without seeming stingy.
