The Ruling on Scattering Money at Celebrations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks and says: What is the ruling on, meaning, wasting money and scattering it at celebrations, and sometimes it is scattered on some people out of showing off and boasting.
Answer:
It is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the squandering of wealth. It is obligatory to preserve wealth and not to be wasteful or extravagant, and not to squander it in competitions or otherwise without any benefit. One is accountable for this wealth. The foot of a servant will not move on the Day of Resurrection until he is asked about four things, and among them is: from where did he earn his wealth, and in what did he spend it? Yes.
