Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister questioner from Riyadh asks in her question: Are we held accountable for the large quantity of clothing we possess for occasions and other times, and for jewelry and gold and so on, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is disliked or forbidden because it is extravagance. As for what is the amount of need for clothing and adornment when there is a need for it, a person is not held accountable for that. Leave extravagance, restrict yourselves to the amount of need. If you were to give in charity what is in excess of your clothing, giving it to those in need, that would be better for you than keeping it and not benefiting from it, without any need for it. Yes.
