use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;
use Hash;
use Auth;
...

public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
    return Hash::check($value, Auth::user()->password);
}

public function message()
{
    return trans('validation.check_password');
}

• Create ComparePassword rules

php artisan make:rule ComparePassword

use Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Rule;
...

public $current_password;

public function __construct($current_password)
{
    $this->current_password = $current_password;
}
    
public function passes($attribute, $value)
{
    return strcmp($this->current_password, $value) == 0 ? false : true;
}

public function message()
{
    return trans('validation.compare_password');
}

Create Form Requests

php artisan make:request UserChangePassword

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
use App\Rules\CheckPassword;
use App\Rules\ComparePassword;
...

public function authorize()
{
    return true;
}

public function rules()
{
    return [
        'current_password' => ['required', 'string', new CheckPassword],
        'new_password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', new ComparePassword($this->current_password)]
    ];
}
