A Lofty Benefit From Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah)

[Salafi-Markaz.Manch.]

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy


A Fundamental Principle
[The Daraahim (i.e. we call it: US Dollar, British Pound etc)]

Which of the Four Daraahim is yours?

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:


The Daraahim are four (types):



[1]The dirham that was earned in obedience to Allaah and spent in fulfilment of the rights of Allaah; this is the best of the daraahim.



[2]The dirham that was earned in disobedience to Allaah and spent in disobedience to Allaah; this one is the most evil of the daraahim.



[3] The dirham that was earned by way of harming a Muslim and spent to harm a Muslim; this one is the same as (dirham number two)



[4] The dirham that was earned by way of permissible means and spent on permissible desires; this one is neither for nor against (you).



This is the original affair with regards to the daraahim........
