The answer

Excessive spending after fasting does not diminish its reward, but it falls under the prohibition of extravagance in Allah's saying: (And eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess) Al-A'raf/31. It is better to give in charity what exceeds one's needs.
