The Sunnah
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever gives in charity the equivalent of a date from good (lawful) earnings — and Allah accepts only the good — Allah takes it in His right hand and nurtures it for its owner as one of you nurtures his foal, until it becomes like a mountain."
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1410

Charity from honest, lawful income is accepted and multiplied by Allah, while wealth gained unlawfully brings no such reward.
How to Practice

Ensure your income is halal before giving from it
2
Give even a small amount from pure earnings
3
Avoid charity from doubtful or unlawful money
4
Trust Allah to grow your good deed enormously
