Is inflation an affliction or a fabrication? Is it haram or halal? Who is responsible for it when people are starving?

Inflation is evil, and its cause is the sins of people. If they had believed and been righteous, Allah would have opened up for them all good things. The texts indicate that calamities, such as inflation, are caused by people's transgressions, their silence regarding evil deeds, and their audacity in transgressing Allah's boundaries.
