The questioner:
And this one asks: Does spending in times of scarcity mean spending while being stingy?
The Shaykh:
"Iqtir" means poverty; the meaning of "iqtir" is poverty.[Al-Baqarah 2:236], "iqtir" means poverty, while "makhm" means stinginess. Yes, the stingy person is not a spender; the stingy person does not spend. But the poor person spends according to his ability, and he may even prefer to deprive himself. He did not fulfill the time.
The presenter:
When is the time? Yes, may Allah bless you. Yes, when is the time?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
We ask Allah for help.
