How to spend one's salary

· 1 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1434 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to know if there is any guidelines in the shari'ah on how one should spend their money/salary. Someone told me that it was the advice of one of the ulama that your income/salary should be divided into 3 parts:

Charity ie discharging zakaat, qurbani and spending on ones parents etc

For your living essentials and spending.

Savings

What is muftis opinion on the above? Also I would like to know if a person can stop doing the above with no valid reason?

Answer

These are optional things.
