Question
Is this Hadith authentic?
من أنفق ماله على الأسلحة فليس من المبذرين
Answer
I have not come across this narration in any primary or secondary Hadith source. The narration should not be quoted until it can be sourced and then verified.
Although this should not be quoted until it can be traced and verified, permissible pursuits may become acts of reward when accompanied by the correct intention.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
