Hadith text: Some people dispose of Allah's property wrongfully. For…

عن خَولة الأنصاريةِ رضي الله عنها قالت: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَتَخَوَّضُونَ فِي مَالِ اللهِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ، فَلَهُمُ النَّارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».

Explanation of the hadith: Some people dispose of Allah's property wrongfully. For…

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about people who unjustly dispose of the Muslims' property and take it wrongfully. This is a general meaning regarding wealth, which was earned and collected through improper means and spent improperly. Falling under this category are consuming the orphans' wealth, unduly handling endowment money, denying trusts, and taking public funds without any right.

Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that their punishment will be Hellfire on the Day of Judgment.

Lessons: Some people dispose of Allah's property wrongfully. For…

Money in the hands of people is actually the property of Allah Almighty, which He has put in their trust so that they will spend it on legitimate purposes and refrain from disposing of it wrongly. This generally applies to the rulers and the ordinary people.
Shariah puts great emphasis on public funds, and that whoever takes any charge of it will be accountable on the Day of Judgment for how it was collected and how it was spent.
This warning also includes anyone who illegally disposes of money, whether it belongs to him or others.
