It is not better at that time when he gives charity to distant people while his own family and dependents are hungry and unclothed. Because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded to spend on one's own family and dependents first.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which charity is the best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The charity given by a person of little means with difficulty is best. And begin by spending on your dependents first."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you is in need, he should spend first on himself. If any wealth remains, he should spend on his family. If more wealth remains, he should spend on his close relatives. If there is still surplus wealth, then he should spend on other needy people here and there."
