Supplicating For the Giver of Charity

Question :

Sometimes, when a person is distributing some charity, the people who are receiving it gather around him and put their hands on the wealth that he is distributing. Then one of them prays for him while the others say Amin' in loud voices. What is the ruling regarding this?

Answer:

Supplicating for him in this fashion should not be done, because it is an innovation. Praying for the giver of charity without all of these rituals - putting their hands on the wealth, gathering around him and raising their voices in the described fashion is legislated, because the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever does good to you, then return to him an equal good. If you don't find anything to recompense him with, then supplicate for him until you feel that you have recompensed him."
