“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.” (2:267)

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O people, give charity!" Then he passed by the women and said: "O women, give charity, for I have seen that you constitute the majority of the people of the Fire."
