Allaah Almighty Permits good things for His slaves and Forbids bad things. Allaah Almighty Says (what means): { There is a general Sharee‘ah rule which states that all beneficial items are lawful in principle, unless there is a text proving their unlawfulness. This rule is based on the verse in which Allaah Almighty Says (what means): { Hence, in principle it is permissible to use mobile phones, unless it is proven that they seriously harm the body because there should be no harm or malice. If there is no harm involved in using them, then it is permissible to use, buy and sell them. We bring to your attention that moderateness in spending is the Islamic approach and it was the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. There should be neither extravagance nor stinginess. Everyone knows his conditions well. So, it is impermissible to exceed the limits in spending, otherwise, it would be unlawful extravagance. It should be known that the degree of extravagance varies from one person to another, according to the degree of richness and poverty. Perhaps spending a sum of money by a person is considered extravagance, whereas it is not considered so when it is spent by another person. Allaah Knows best.
