The Holy Qur'an enjoins upon the Muslims and the entire world to spend money in a proper, judicious and beneficial manner. It prohibits Asraaf (wasteful expenses) and also enjoins to spend money not only on oneself alone, but on one's relations, neighbors, orphans, slaves, travelers, destitute and needy persons. The manner of spending the money as laid down cuts the root of wasteful expenditure and expenses made on luxuries, lavishness, pomp and show. The main criterion laid down by the Holy Qur'an is that a man should remain within the limits of Justice and fairness.
