Yes. Ahmad, Ahmad ibn. May Allah bless you. Yes.
The questioner:
The questioner says: Shaykh, if a righteous person is provided with great sources of income that make him, for example, one of the wealthy,
The Shaykh:
he praises his Lord, acts, gives charity, does good, establishes charitable projects, and strives as al-Siddiq, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and others did.
The questioner:
Does he take a little or earn a little and then devote himself to other avenues of good, or does he increase his wealth?
The Shaykh:
He does what is best, he does what is best for his heart and his soul, he does what is best, he strives in the obedience of Allah, spends from what Allah has given him, and does what is best. Yes.
