Is hoarding limited to food items only?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, now ask your second question!
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, is hoarding not possible except with food?
The Shaykh : It is not limited to food! No, that is not the case.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : It can also occur with other things. Have you seen a country where there is no water except for money?!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And water is the basis of life!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So if a man hoards this water, is he not a hoarder?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Ah, so the correct statement is that hoarding does not occur in luxuries, but rather in necessities.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
