The questioner:
May Allah reward you. His other question says: What is the difference between extravagance and wastefulness, may Allah protect you, and what is the cure for wastefulness?
The Shaykh:
They are opposites. Extravagance and wastefulness. Yes, indeed. Yes.
The questioner:
Extravagance, and agreement. Yes.
The Shaykh:
Their meaning is the same; extravagance is wastefulness, but extravagance occurs in spending, and in eating and drinking. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:31] And wastefulness also occurs by spending money on things that are useless and of no benefit; this is wastefulness [Al-Isra 17:26-27]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah is displeased Sahih Muslim 593f. Yes.

and eat and drink, but be not excessive
وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُواand do not spend wastefully. (27) Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.
وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًاthree things for you; irrelevant talk, persistent questioning and wasting of wealth.
