Husband and wife share extravagance in Ramadan
Dr. Zaid bin Muhammad Al-Rummani

According to Dr. Zeid bin Mohammed al-Rommany, economic advisor and faculty member at Imam University, extravagance in Ramadan has become a feature of arab society, and everyone is running after excessive consumption, accompanied by advertising. Al-Rummani pointed out that women and men are involved in the process of extravagance, extravagance and evil in consumption and demanded that the slogan of sufficiency be raised instead of waste.

To this dialogue:
What does fasting have to do with consumption?

There is a direct relationship in contemporary life between the month of fasting and the voracious consumption, and one is astonished by this consumer insatiable, which is common to the general public in this month without rational justification.

Everyone is running towards the cycle of excessive consumption, and the willingness to consume in Ramadan begins early with a terrible machine of advertising, and marketing festivals, which surround the family everywhere. and time, and through more than one means. The wife is pushing for more , the children are pressing for their consumer demands, and one himself has a good state of buying anything that is expendable, in too much quantities. Unfortunately, some people are accustomed to some bad habits that are alien to Ramadan, which is the way consumer spending is not Islamic. When Ramadan comes, a majority of Muslims are budgeting in the regular months, and they begin to double their consumption, and the day is fasting and lazy, and the night is unusual food and consumption.

Is it possible to strike a balance between efficiency and waste?
The characteristic of the consumption of a Muslim is sufficiency, not waste, and its benefit and satisfaction is achieved not only by material satisfaction, but also through spiritual satisfaction by performing the duty towards Muslims from the money of God that he has provided to him, although His benefit is achieved even in fulfilling his duty to Muslims, and before that his family, his wife and his son. Therefore, the Muslim seeks to satisfy Allah, thanking Allah for his grace, and protecting him whenever he agrees to consume something from his Lord's livelihood, and the Muslim spends his money to achieve a benefit by filling his needs, and attaining his pleasure and sufficiency about haraam things, And to achieve god's patients, and to receive his reward - Almighty.

The month of fasting is a periodic opportunity to get to know the list of expenditures due in the economic sense, the list of tunnel exclusion, then an opportunity to arrange priorities, and then an opportunity to get to know at the level of Possible surplus. Moreover, Ramadan is an opportunity to achieve better rationalization and to expand the pot of possible surplus, but provided that it is linked to the well-known Qur’an guideline: “and eat and drink, but be not excessive” Al-A’raf 31, is the field of rationalization at the individual and eneral level.

It is said that the wife is the most likely to be dissipation off in Ramadan?
The researchers have confirmed an important fact that the chaos of consumption clearly arises when the wife begins to offer her expenses to be expenses of goods and food, which actually swallows the monthly income until the last penny in it.The infection of waste is transmitted to children and they grow with a lack of sense of the value of things, so they do not keep their toys or books, and in that it is no longer an individual matter, but a social manifestation, It is no longer a current issue, but a matter that extends to the future, and waste and luxury are no longer limited to the family, but to the homeland. It is common among us that women are more extravagant than men, whether they are dressed or spent, but there are men who are more extravagant in their money, behavior and possessions; it is relative and linked to the size of what i have. The individual is tempting towards extravagance, and the important question remains: which is more extravagant than a man or a woman or both? In fact, both men and women are responsible, although extravagance and extravagance are relatively more in feminist society. Thus, the wife who prepares and cooks, and the husband who brings and spends both are accused of consumerism, which plagues our society in Ramadan and non-Ramadan.

Has extravagance become a attribute of Ramadan?
In general, it can be said that extravagance in this month is "Ramadan" and elsewhere, a attribute of our Arab region.

Unfortunately, the phenomenon of globalization has spread to the most religious, social and economic aspects, the most serious of which are the faith aspects. The month of Ramadan is being transformed year after year into an event for the intensive promotion of various goods, contributed strongly by various media, advertising arts, and advertising agencies.

Religious sentiments are increasingly being exploited as a means of expanding the market, and sometimes even to promote the most remote goods. They forgot or forgot that reducing daily meals from three to two meals is a good opportunity to reduce consumption, and it is not feared that extravagant spending in Ramadan is inconsistent with The status of our Muslim societies, which are mostly developing societies that require the preservation of all efforts, and every possibility of waste, and what we make in Ramadan is certainly a waste of material potential, a waste of high values, and a waste of the behavior of the status of conviction.
