قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية في «مجموع الفتاوى» فَإِنَّ الْمَشْرُوعَ الْمَأْمُورَ بِهِ، الَّذِي يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هُوَ الِاقْتِصَادُ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ هَدْيًا قَاصِدًا، وَقَالَ: إنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ مَتِينٌ وَلَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ أَحَدٌ إلَّا غَلَبَهُ فَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ وَشَيْءٍ مِنْ الدُّلْجَةِ وَالْقَصْدَ الْقَصْدَ تَبْلُغُوا». وَقَالَ أُبَيّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: «اقْتِصَادٌ فِي سُنَّةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ اجْتِهَادٍ فِي بِدْعَةٍ». ويرى أكثر أهل العلم أنه إذا كانت الْعِبَادَةُ تُوجِبُ لَهُ ضَرَرًا يَمْنَعُهُ عَنْ فِعْلِ وَاجِبٍ أَنْفَعَ لَهُ مِنْهَا، كَانَتْ مُحَرَّمَةً؛ مِثْلُ أَنْ يَصُومَ صَوْمًا يُضْعِفُهُ عَنْ الْكَسْبِ الْوَاجِبِ، أَوْ يَمْنَعُهُ عَنْ الْعَقْلِ أَوْ الْفَهْمِ الْوَاجِبِ، أَوْ يَمْنَعُهُ عَنْ الْجِهَادِ الْوَاجِبِ. وَكَذَلِكَ إذَا كَانَتْ تُوقِعُهُ فِي مَحَلٍّ مُحَرَّمٍ لَا يُقَاوِمُ مَفْسَدَتَهُ مُصْلِحَتُهَا، مِثْلُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ مَالَهُ كُلَّهُ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَشْرِفُ إلَى أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ وَيَسْأَلُهُمْ. وَأَمَّا إنْ أَضْعَفَتْهُ عَمَّا هُوَ أَصْلَحُ مِنْهَا، وَأَوْقَعَتْهُ فِي مَكْرُوهَاتٍ: فَإِنَّهَا مَكْرُوهَةٌ.

Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in “Majmu’ al-Fatawa”: “Indeed, the prescribed act that Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) love is moderation in worship, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘You should adopt a moderate approach; you should adopt a moderate approach.’ He also said: ‘This religion is strong, and no one will try to be extreme in it except that it will overpower him. So seek help with the early morning, the late afternoon, and a little bit of the night, and be moderate in your approach, and you will reach your goal.’ And Ubayy ibn Ka’b said: ‘Moderation in a Sunnah is better than striving in a bid’ah.’ Most scholars believe that if an act of worship causes harm that prevents a person from performing a more beneficial obligation, it becomes prohibited; for example, if fasting weakens him from earning a necessary livelihood, or prevents him from the necessary understanding or intellect, or hinders him from the obligatory jihad. Likewise, if it leads him to a forbidden place where its harm cannot be outweighed by its benefit, such as giving away all his wealth and then seeking help from others. However, if it weakens him from what is better than it and leads him to disliked actions, then it is considered disliked.
