Question : In the hadith regarding the bequest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), is it close to the state of a person’s death and not generalized to his state in life? Meaning, a person in his lifetime does not spend more than that.
Answer : No, no. In his lifetime, he spends whatever he wishes.
Answer : No, no. In his lifetime, he spends whatever he wishes.
