Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it extravagance to use tiles in the bathroom?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer<\/u><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Islam does not prohibit us from spending and consuming, but Islam forbids us from being extravagant.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Quran expresses the sense of spending wastefully through two words:\u00a0 (1) Tabdhir, translated as squandering recklessly.\u00a0 (2) Israaf\u00a0 (extravagance).\u00a0 The prohibition of tabdhir is clear from the following verse where Allah (SWA) says: \u201cAnd do not squander recklessly.\u00a0 Surely squanderers are brothers to Shaitans and the Shaitan is very ungrateful to his Lord\u201d.\u00a0 (Surah Bani Israeel v.26-v.27)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the prohibition of Israaf is deduced from Surah Al-Araf v.33 (and do not be extravagant).\u00a0 Some commentators say that both words are synonymous.\u00a0 Any spending in sin or disobedience or a wrong occasion or place is called tabdhir and israaf.\u00a0 There are others who define it by saying that tabdhir is spending in sin or on some totally unsuitable occasion or place, while israaf is spending beyond the level of need on an occasion where it is permissible to spend.\u00a0 (Maariful Quran p.489 v.5)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imam As-Shabi (RA) narrates that Muawiya wrote to Al Mughira bin Shuba: Write to me something, which you have heard from the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam.\u00a0 So Mughira wrote:\u00a0 I heard the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam saying, \u201cAllah has hated for you vain talks, wasting of wealth and asking too many questions.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 (Sahih Bukhari p.958 v.2)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The conclusion we can come to is that if the tiles of the bathroom are of average quality, not too lavish or extravagant, then this will be permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n
