3605. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Eat and drink, give charity and wear clothes, as long as that does not involve any extravagance or vanity.'" (Da'if)
3605 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَتَصَدَّقُوا وَالْبَسُوا مَا لَمْ يُخَالِطْهُ إِسْرَافٌ، أَوْ مَخِيلَةٌ»

Extravagance and lavishness means spending in lawful matters excessively so that it becomes unlawful. Simplicity is a distinguished quality of a Muslim. Preparing too many dishes for few guests and then throwing them away is also a kind of extravagance. Similarly, spending in useless entertainment also comes under this ruling.
