Extravagance

The Quran forbids extravagance, which is spending without real need. (7:31) The Prophet of Islam said that it is also an extravagance to eat whatever you feel like eating. (Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith No. 3352)

It is man’s legitimate right to spend on real needs. But no one enjoys the right to spend out of desire and pleasure. God has given someone surplus wealth, not for spending it only on himself. Wealth is God’s trust, and he should spend it only on the things God has ordained for him. The man who rejects such a lifestyle is as if he has not fulfilled God’s trust.
