What is the ruling on girls buying household necessities before marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

"It is permissible for a person to acquire what they need in life, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saved his family's provisions for a year. One should not overspend, and 'One bed for a man, one bed for his wife, a third for the guest, and the fourth for the devil.' There is no harm in a Muslim saving what they need of food or furniture as long as it does not reach the point of extravagance. If a Muslim dies, their heirs benefit from what they leave behind, and this is charity for them. As for a woman not marrying, it is a sign of ill-will, and a servant should have a good opinion of Allah: 'I am as My servant thinks of Me.'"
