Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there a clear reason (‘illah) for the prohibition of drinking from gold and silver vessels, so that other forms of benefit can be judged by analogy to it?
Answer:
If the reason is given as showing off and arrogance, or breaking the hearts of the poor, or restricting the monetary supply, then anything that shares in that is included in the prohibition. There is no doubt that these vessels, pots, and items involve arrogance, extravagance, and pride. In the name of Allah. You are being explicit, father, and it is taking a long time. And the advice is in the hadith: “Do not eat from their plates.” From their plates; they also prohibited the plates, yes.
