Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'There is no waste in anything that improves the body…rather waste is found in all that squanders away wealth and harms the body.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَيسَ فيما أصلَحَ البَدَنَ إسرافٌ... إنّما الإسرافُ فيما أتلَفَ المالَ وأضَرَّ بالبَدَنِ.

hadith 4443
Imam al-Kazim (AS), when asked about whether owning ten shirts was considered a waste, replied, 'No, and in fact that is more conducive to longer wear of your clothes. Waste is when you wear your formal finery to unclean places [as casual wear].
الإمامُ الكاظمُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ وقد سُئلَ عَن عَشَرَةِ أقْمِصَةٍ هَل ذلكَ مِنَ السَّرَفِ ـ: لا ، ولكن ذلكَ أبقى لِثِيابِهِ ، ولكنَّ السَّرَفَ أن تَلبَسَ ثَوبَ صَونِكَ في المكانِ القَذِرِ .
