In Islam buying expensive perfume be considered a waste?

Importance of perfume in Islam

Fragrances and perfumes are worldly commodities and adornments. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) clearly stated that perfume is dear to him among the consumable things of the world. On the authority of Anas bin Malek (RA), who narrated from the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he said: “Beloved by me in your world are: women, perfumes. And the coolness of my eyes is in prayer.” (Sunan Nasa’i 3939)

Undoubtedly the fact is: expensive perfumes smell better and last longer than cheap ones. For this reason, buying expensive perfumes will not be considered a waste. However, purchase of perfumes will be prohibited under the following conditions:

A. He does not have the money to buy that perfume. Even if you have the money to borrow or buy it, if you buy perfume with this money, it will cause loss to those who are required to bear the cost.

b. If pride, arrogance and bragging are desired by this fragrance.

c. Unnecessary over-buying.

On the authority of Umar (RA), "If a person spends all his money in buying perfume, he is not a spendthrift."

Undoubtedly, if a person is rich and he buys expensive perfumes of good quality, it is not considered a waste. Especially good quality perfumes last longer and smell better. And if it is a middle class and poor class person: then for such a person buying this kind of perfume will be considered a waste.
