The answer

The scarcity and abundance of sustenance are among Allah's decrees, based on profound wisdom, for He says: "Allah extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts it for him." Among the causes of abundant sustenance are fearing Allah (), seeking forgiveness (istighfar), maintaining kinship ties, spending in the cause of Allah, and avoiding usury. Conversely, the greatest cause of constricted sustenance is disobedience to Allah, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, a man is deprived of provision because of a sin he commits." If the scarcity of sustenance is due to magic, then one must observe the prescribed remembrances (adhkar) and perform (Islamic exorcism). Abandoning obligatory prayers is one of the gravest sins. We advise patience, avoiding anxiety, and increasing supplication.
