Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I was visiting a relative, and he served me food in gold vessels. Is it obligatory for me to refuse this food?
Answer:
Gold vessels: whoever owns gold vessels, or intends them to be gilded—whether they contain gold paint or gold colors—does not eat from them, and for this reason it is forbidden.
