Re: To be natural or artificial
The definition of extravagance in Islam is money spent on haram...so i can buy 10 mercedes if i can afford it which would be acceptabl;e whilst buying a pint of Guiness would count as extravagance...
Makeups a bit of a touchy issue Islamically isnt it?...
Anyhow fact is fashion aside you can apply this to every facet in life...a month ago i bought a fat plasma screen for my bedroom...i could have not bought it and done something for charity etc etc...
Spending an extra tenner on some jeans...again couldnt that tenner have gone to charity etc...
Fact is you can apply this to everything that isnt a neccesity...so are you going to give yourself a guilt trip every time you spend money on something that isnt food, clothing or shleter?...
We can always spend our money in better ways but you dont have to...give your zakat and give some sadaqa...dont worry yoursle fwith spending money on your makeup...
