Riyad as-Salihin, 221
Khaulah bint 'Thamir (May Allah bepleased with her) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Many people misappropriate (acquire wrongfully) Allah's Property (meaning Muslims' property). These people will be cast in Hell on the Day of Resurrection". <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
وعن خولة بنت عامر الأنصاري ، وهي امرأة حمزة رضي الله عنه وعنها، قالت : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول:
إن رجالاً يتخوضون في مال الله بغير حق، فلهم النار يوم القيامة
((رواه البخاري)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Prohibition of free disposal of public property that is not based on Sharia, for it is an act of injustice.<br>
2) Spending money uselessly and disposing of it inappropriately is strictly warned of as it entails subjection to divine threat on the Day of Judgment.
