In the Quran

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّآ أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا۟ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِـَٔاخِذِيهِ إِلَّآ أَن تُغْمِضُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ

مومنو! جو پاکیزہ اور عمدہ مال تم کماتے ہوں اور جو چیزیں ہم تمہارے لئے زمین سےنکالتے ہیں ان میں سے (راہ خدا میں) خرچ کرو۔ اور بری اور ناپاک چیزیں دینے کا قصد نہ کرنا کہ (اگر وہ چیزیں تمہیں دی جائیں تو) بجز اس کے کہ (لیتے وقت) آنکھیں بند کرلو ان کو کبھی نہ لو۔ اور جان رکھو کہ خدا بےپروا (اور) قابل ستائش ہے

O ye who believe! Spend of the good things which ye have earned, and of that which We bring forth from the earth for you, and seek not the bad (with intent) to spend thereof (in charity) when ye would not take it for yourselves save with disdain; and know that Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.
