Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it not better for a person to supplicate to be wealthy so that he can spend in the cause of Allah?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : I say: Is it not better for a person to supplicate to be wealthy so that he can spend in the cause of Allah?
The Shaykh : You do not know; perhaps he asks for wealth because he intends to spend it, but then he does not spend it. And the general rule is that when wealth increases, it distracts, even if a person spends it in the cause of Allah.
