What is the ruling on the presence of gold in a dagger, sword, or weapon, and on wearing it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Gold and the dagger.

Answer : This is not clothing. However, gold is permissible in daggers, swords, and rifles, because the benefit in that is greater than its harm, which is to anger the enemies. When the enemies see that the Muslims' weapons are made of gold, there is no doubt that they will be angered by this. So when the stronger position is established, this matter is permitted. That is, since gold was originally permitted in the hilt of a sword and the like, it became a general ruling, whether it is used in jihad or in celebrations.
