As-Salaam alaikum,
In a reply to a question, Mufti Sahib said :-
"There is a difference between Israaf and Tabzeer. To spend more than necessity in those areas in which spending is permissible is termed Israaf.
Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Qur'an :" Eat and drink but do not waste "(7:31)
Eating and drinking are necessities of life and to spend in them is permissible, but spending extra in/on them is called ISRAAF.
To spend in those areas wherein spending is not permissible is called Tabzeer. Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Qur'an : "Those who are extravagant are the brothers of Shaytan" (17:27),.... because one assists Shaytan by spending in impermissible areas.
