The Sixteenth Type: Stinginess
It is defined as the extreme love of money that causes one to prevent spending it, although it is an obligation to spend it. Allah has blameworthy those who are stingy and enjoin people to be stingy. It is an obligation to forbid it. The blameworthy prevention of spending is preventing spending in a righteous intention, or to do a right, bring a benefit, or fight a harm or censure.
The conclusion is that the obligation is divided into two parts: a obligation of Islamic Law and a obligation of magnanimity. Therefore, whoever refrains from them is judged as stingy.
● The obligation of Islamic Law is the purification dues and similar things.
● The obligation of magnanimity is not to stop paying little money for unimportant purposes. Whoever does it is judged as a generous one.
