Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Some of the commentators stated that Abu Sufyan's stinginess was only in spending on his family, not absolutely, so that they would not become attached to this world, and that he was not stingy in other matters. Is this correct?
Answer:
I do not know, by Allah, and what does he know about this? What does he know? Did he know Abu Sufyan and live in the same era as Abu Sufyan? Yes.

May Allah reward you
