Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) writes:<\/p>\n
According to sharee’ah, it is not forbidden for one to derive pleasure from the permissible things of the world, nor is it impermissible for one to accumulate wealth and keep it in one\u2019s possession. However, it should be borne in mind that the abundance of wealth and luxuries creates a strong affinity and bond for wealth within one\u2019s heart, to such an extent that it becomes difficult for one to live without it. As a result, in order to acquire the wealth to fulfil one\u2019s desires, one has to occupy himself in searching for additional means to increase one\u2019s livelihood and income. Often, in the passion of wealth one adopts a compromising attitude in his deen and becomes a victim of sin. (Fazaail-e-Sadaqaat [urdu], Part 2 \u2013 pg. 486)<\/p>\n
