Question

What is excessive spending known as israf/fuzool kharchi in Islamic view?

Answer

The Shari’ah does not define and delimit extravagance. It leaves a lot of things on human intellect and universal moral principles. It is upon the individual to decide in the light of the sense and reason and the moral values to determine which of his spending come under extravagance and which are not. It also varies from person to person according to their social and financial status.
