Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a master appoints his slave to sell his goods, is the sale by the slave valid?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. If a person squanders wealth that he has no need for, is he considered a spendthrift such that his property is restricted? No, he is not a spendthrift, but he is a Muslim and is considered among the Muslims. And eat and drink, but do not be excessive. He may be prudent in his wealth, but he is excessive in his sustenance. Excessiveness is forbidden.
