Imām Ibn Qudāmah -rahimahullāh- said:
Also, it will be said: So so camel cost 100 dīnar, and this so so quantity of Za’farān cost 100 dīnar, thus, they can be both exchanged through the use of the coins. And also, coins has itself are not to be sought except for the benefit it plays in transaction. Thus, they serve as a scale for all things, and Allāh Has given them status due to that. Whoever possesses them is as if he has everything.
Since the wisdom behind coins is known, thus whoever behaves in contradiction to its goal, has indeed signifies ingratitude to the blessings of Allāh regarding coins, and whoever hoards them has indeed make its wisdom null and void, because he has prevented others from benefiting from it.
However, since people are incapable of comprehending the wisdom behind what He created by just mere seeing without deep insight, thus, Allāh still went further to explain it to the people in the best language they understand the most through His Rasūl salallāhu a’layhi wasallam where He says:
_والذين يكنزون الذهب والفضة ولا ينفقونها في سبيل الله فبشرهم بعذاب أليم_
_And those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the path of Allāh, announce unto them a severe penalty._
Sūratu At-Tawbah, Verse 34.
And also, whoever uses gold and silver for making of pots, has expresses ingratitude to the blessings of Allāh in both ( I.e gold and silver), because his condition is worst as against the one who buries them.
Allāhu A’alam! Bārakallāhu fīkum!
