The reward for giving old clothes to the poor

Question

I give old clothes to the poor — do I receive reward for it? Is there a difference between new clothes and old clothes or not?

Answer

Just as there is a difference between old clothes and new clothes, so there is a difference in the reward for each. Nevertheless, the need of the needy is met by it, and for this too there will be reward.
