Prohibition of selling insects: We deduced this from the prohibition of wasting wealth, so what about when the object is detached?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. You mentioned that you deduced the prohibition of selling insects from the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of wasting wealth.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And the object is detached.
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : That is, if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, "Do not sell insects," we would say it is not permissible. But the prohibition is absolute.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right, and this falls under the general ruling.
The questioner : Like the prohibition of usurpation...
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ...He prohibited usurpation.
The Shaykh : No, there is a difference between them. Wasting wealth by spending it on something of no benefit is its waste. Wasting wealth is not throwing it on the ground.
And the standing prayer, O Muhammad, is the intercession and the virtue, and raise him to the Praiseworthy Station.
