How should we spend from whatever we
have?
Verses 26-30 of
Chapter 17
And give to the
kinsman his due, and to the Miskin (poor), and to the wayfarer. But spend not
wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Verily, the
spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaytan is ever
ungrateful to his Lord. And if you turn away from them and you are awaiting a
mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then, speak unto them a soft, kind
word. And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor overextend
it (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty.
Truly, your Lord expands the provision for whom He wills and straitens (for
whom He wills). Verily, He is Ever All-Knower, All-Seer of His servants.
Verses 67 of
Chapter 25
Those
who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just
(balance) between those (extremes).
