The Ruling on Boasting About Financial Support for Family
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it considered boasting about wealth when a person says, "I spent such and such on my family"?
Answer:
What is the reason he says this? What is his intention? If his intention is to boast about it, it is not permissible. Or if his intention is to boast over his family, saying, "I spent on you and I gave you," it is not permissible. So, it is not permissible to boast about charity or financial support; it is not permissible to boast about it.[Al-Baqarah 2:264] Yes.
