Paying more in order to obtain a better quality
Question
Oudh and attars with Oudh can range anywhere from R1000 a bottle to over R10000 a bottle. Is it permissible to spend large amounts of money on small bottles of attar (Hindi oudh etc.), or will this be regarded as extravagance?
Answer
No. Paying more for something in order to acquire a better quality is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
