Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is meant by the statement that silk is permissible to wear provided it does not exceed four fingers? Does the total amount of silk he wears have to be four fingers, or is it limited to that specific location?
Answer:
The embroidery, meaning the embroidery on the pocket or on the front of the robe, that does not exceed four fingers, or on the bisht, where the bisht has silk on it. On its pocket, there is no objection. Likewise, if it is made of gold thread, there is no objection to this, because this is embroidery and decoration that does not contradict the ruling. Yes.
