The Meaning of Zuhd and the Meaning of Wara'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Thank you, Abu Wa'il. We return to the questions, may Allah preserve you. This person asks: What is the meaning of zuhd and what is the meaning of wara'?

Answer:
Zuhd is being indifferent to what a person does not need. A person should be indifferent to things he does not need and to what is in the hands of people, which people love, as mentioned in the hadith. He should be content with what Allah the Exalted has given him. Wara' is scrupulousness regarding the forbidden and avoiding doubtful matters. This is wara'. Yes.
