Connecting through charity and financial support
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Charity given to a poor person is [only] charity, but charity given to a relative is both charity and the maintaining of family ties."
Reference: Sunan al-Nasa'i and Jami' al-Tirmidhi, graded Hasan, on the authority of Salman ibn Amir (RA)
Explanation
Giving to a relative in need earns a double reward, combining ordinary charity with the specific virtue of maintaining ties.
