Charity sent as a gift to Prophet’s family is permissible

`Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that` Barirah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave some meat as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which had been given to her as charity by someone. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted it and said: "It is charity for her and a gift for us."

Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me a goat as charity, so I sent some of its meat to Umm al-Mu’minin ‘A’ishah al-Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Umm al-Mu’minin ‘A’ishah al-Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked: “Do you have any food?” She replied: “No, except that Nasibah (i.e., Umm ‘Atiyyah) sent us some meat from the goat which you had sent to her as charity.” So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It has reached its place. (Meaning: It was charity for them, but now for us it is a gift.)”
