Giving for the Cause of God

Extravagance is committed at the cost of worthwhile expenditure The Prophet is reported to have said: “For every act of extravagance, a righteous cause is left by the wayside.” This means that when anyone is extravagant, he is at one and the same time neglecting to spend on a worthy cause. For every opportunity that there is to be extravagant, there is a parallel opportunity to give where it is really needed.
