Ruling on purchasing luxuries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Abdullah, says: If I have the desire to buy a need that is not essential but is a luxury, and I have financial surplus, is this considered extravagance?
Answer:
It is not extravagance if the luxuries are things like bedding, which is not extravagance, or a vessel they need, or a staple food that is sufficient for everyone; this is not extravagance. Extravagance is bringing in something for which there is no need; that is extravagance. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
