Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: The evidence that has passed through us regarding the prohibition of gold and silver vessels only indicated the prohibition of using them, drinking from them, and eating from them. So what is the evidence for the prohibition of possessing them for the sake of adornment?
Answer:
If eating and drinking from them is forbidden, even though eating and drinking are needs that a person requires, then possessing them for the sake of showing off is all the more not permissible. Yes.
