In the Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The
Bestower of Mercy
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: The
Daraahim [i.e. monies] are four types:
[1] The dirham [i.e. money] that was earned in
obedience to Allaah and spent to fulfil Allaah’s Rights. This is of the best
Daraahim.
[2] The dirham that was earned in disobedience to
Allaah and spent in disobedience to Allaah. This one is the most evil of the
Daraahim.
[3] The dirham that was earned by way of harming a
Muslim and spent to harm a Muslim. This one is the same as [dirham number 2].
[4] The dirham that was earned by way of
permissible means and spent on permissible desires. This one is neither for nor
against [you].
This is the origin of Daraahim.
