<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is forbidden to be undutiful to mothers as well as fathers, but mothers were mentioned particularly in the Hadith given their weakness and need for care.<br> 2) Wealth is a trust with the slave, so he should spend it only in what yields worldly or religious interests.<br> 3) Spending money in unlawful ways involves two prohibitions: wasting money and committing something prohibited, so one should beware of that.<br> 4) The Shariah bans all that spoils people’s religiosity, intellect, or wealth; and this reflects the perfection of this great religion.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> The reward of maintaining ties of kinship and kindness to others is perceived in the worldly life before the Hereafter, and the punishment of severing the ties of kinship and transgression against others’ rights is inflicted upon the perpetrator in the worldly life before the Hereafter. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is nothing in which Allah is obeyed that yields a swifter reward than maintaining the ties of kinship, and there is nothing whose punishment is swifter than that of transgression and severing the ties of kinship.” [Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Sunan Al-Kubra as reported by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)]
