"A person will be rewarded even when he spends money on his own family. However, this reward is dependent upon the person's intention; if the intention is to acquire the Pleasure of Allāh ta'ala, he will be rewarded.
Therefore, when going shopping for groceries, clothes etc. make the intention, 'I am doing this to fulfil the Command of Allāh�ta'ala of feeding and clothing my family and I am doing this for His pleasure only.' Inshā'allāh, you will be entitled to reward.
It is unfortunate that we do not make an intention of pleasing Allāh�ta'ala whilst carrying out those actions which we normally carry out as routine.
If only we could learn to make the correct intention at the right time, then all our apparent worldly actions would become a means of acquiring reward and the Pleasure of Allāh ta'ala."
