giving

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. What if I give my entire zakah money to my divorced sister who wants to try to make a living with that money? She has no income and has two children who are still students. Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-salamu `alaykum. Is it a bid`ah(innovation in religion) to give a short talk after every salah (Prayer)?

Thank you for this opportunity. I have noticed that most Muslims in my community do not volunteer time, money or blood, for that matter, to the people in their community. Most Muslims prefer to isolate themselves from their surroundings when they live in a non-Muslim country. How can I encourage them to be more active and more giving? How can I convince them that community volunteer activities are important regardless of where they live and regardless of who benefits from those activities?
