Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates that the husband spends on whom he wishes after his maintenance of those upon whom it is obligatory for him to spend.
Answer:
This is specific to the husband. This is specific to the wealthy person, whether he is a husband or otherwise. If he has surplus money beyond his own sufficiency and the sufficiency of those he is obligated to support, he disposes of it within the limits of what is permissible, within the limits of what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has made permissible, because it is his surplus beyond his own sufficiency and the sufficiency of those he supports. He disposes of it as he wishes within the limits of what is permissible. Yes.
