The ruling on using silk as a bedspread and silver for men
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to use silk as a mattress or the like? And is it permissible for men to use silver in anything other than a ring?
Answer:
As for silk, it is not permissible to use it as a mattress, neither for men nor for women. It is not permissible to use silk as a mattress, or as cushions, or as seats in a car or elsewhere, neither for men nor for women. Only a portion of silk is permitted. As for making it a mattress, this is not permissible, neither for men nor for women. As for silver, it is permissible for a man to have a silver ring; it is permissible for a man to have a silver ring. It is permissible for him. The belt buckle, which is the band that a man wears, may be decorated with silver, and likewise weapons may have silver ornamentation; we do not object to that.
