The Ruling on Using Silk as a Bedding and Using Silver for Men
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Is it permissible to use silk as a bedspread 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 bedspread, neither for men nor for women. That is, it is not permissible to use silk as a bedspread, or as cushions, or as seats in a car or elsewhere, neither for men nor for women. Only tying silk is permitted for women, but making it a bedspread is not permissible, neither for men nor for women. As for silver, it is permissible for a man to have a silver ring, and it is permissible for him. So an ornament for the belt, which is the belt with which one ties the waist, may be made of silver, and likewise a weapon may have decoration of silver; there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
