Lengthy aspirations
Question
I have read a hadith that a sign of an unfortunate person is that they have fancy aspirations (something to the effect). Are there any guidelines to determine if your aspirations are fanciful e.g. not of benefit to Deen, aspiration is motivated by competition?
Answer
Aspirations which are only to impress people or they are lengthy material aspirations.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
