Analogy of diamond vessels with gold and silver vessels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the operative cause of the prohibition of gold and silver vessels is arrogance and breaking the hearts of the poor, does the analogy apply to diamond vessels, since the cause is the same here?
Answer:
How is the cause the same? Breaking the hearts of the poor with gold and silver, but breaking them with other things is not necessarily the same. People are not equal; some are rich and some are poor. But breaking their hearts is specifically with gold and silver. Yes.
