The questioner:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: What is the reason for singling out brocade for prohibition, when it is a type of silk?
The Shaykh:
Yes, so that it encompasses silk in all its types, whether fine or coarse, such as satin. Satin, silk, and brocade are all types of silk, but brocade is fine and satin is coarse. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father.
The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling if...
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. Also, to clarify that even if it is named something other than silk, such as brocade, that does not take it out of the prohibition. The criterion is the reality, not the names. Whether it is called brocade, satin, or... Yes.
