Guidance on getting rid of the habit of extravagance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, may Allah preserve you: I am afflicted with the habit of extravagance, and I do not know how to get rid of it. What is your guidance?
Answer:
Extravagance is forbidden. Extravagance in spending, extravagance in wudu' (ablution), wasting water—extravagance is forbidden. [Eat and drink, but do not be extravagant.] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade extravagance in the water of wudu', even if a person is on a flowing river. Extravagance is not permissible. If it is a habit for him, he should train himself to leave it off and remember the prohibition of it. With Allah's help, he will leave it off. Yes.
