The Difference Between Stinginess and Miserliness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the difference between stinginess (shuhh) and miserliness (bukhl)?

Answer:
There is no clear difference between them, but they say that miserliness is withholding what you have, while stinginess is coveting what is in the hands of others, wanting to take what people have. They call this stinginess, and miserliness is preventing what is with you. Yes.
