The ruling on wearing silk brocade

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the younger students, Your Eminence the Shaykh, rebuke those who exercise independent legal reasoning and contradict the explicit text, and they leave aside their opinions?

Answer:
The obligatory duty is to adhere to the Book and the Sunnah and to refer to them in every matter, whether one is young or old, male or female. This is the duty of the believers. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:
(13) These are the limits [set by] Allah, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be admitted by Him to gardens [in Paradise] under which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein; and that is the great attainment. (14) And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment.تِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ نَارًا خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَلَهُ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
[An-Nisa 4:13-14]
As for the weft, it is a matter of concern if it is silk. It is reported from Ibn 'Abbas that if the warp is not silk but the weft is silk, this is a matter of concern because it is not directly silk, but it is a matter of concern. The safest course for the believer is to avoid it, and the safest course is to avoid it, because the weft relies on the silk, and the apparent meaning of the texts is the prohibition of silk for men, whether it is the weft or not. For the believer to stay away from what is doubtful, this is what the believer should do. Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt.

May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh,
