Question:
He says: What is the ruling on buying chandeliers coated with gold water?
Answer:
It is not permissible to plate them with gold, nor to buy vessels containing honey, because this is a type of use that resembles using them for drinking. Likewise, gold-plated cups, sloping bowls, pitchers, and teacups are all prohibited, as is anything resembling this. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking from gold and silver vessels and using them. He said: and he said: Therefore, do not make spoons, lamps, cups, or anything else used from them. Yes.
