Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the narration of Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her)
The Shaykh:
What? The narration, the narration, yes, indeed.
The questioner:
Umm Salama’s narration of the prohibition of using a silver vessel, and what was mentioned previously that she had a small bell of silver, which contained the hair of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh:
Of silver means it has some of the color of silver, some of the color of silver, but it is not made of silver. This is not permissible. But if it has some of the color of silver and nothing is obtained from it, even if it were gathered, nothing would be obtained, then it is tolerated. Yes.
