💰 Family finances · #50

Are there special practices for a family to gain abundant provision? Which ones are authentic?

The practices clearly stated in the Quran and authentic hadith are God-consciousness, seeking forgiveness, gratitude, keeping family ties and giving charity — together with lawful effort.
Allah says that whoever is God-conscious, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect (at-Talaq 65:2–3); the Prophet Nuh called his people to seek forgiveness, and Allah would send rain and increase their wealth and children (Nuh 71:10–12); and if you are grateful, Allah will increase His favour (Ibrahim 14:7). The Prophet ﷺ said whoever wishes his provision to be expanded and his life prolonged should keep ties of kinship (Sahih al-Bukhari 5986). Every day two angels pray for compensation for the one who spends (Sahih al-Bukhari 1442). Be wary of "practices" that promise wealth for a fee, amulets or recitations without clear sources. See Supplication & prayer.
