Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to use gold and silver in weapons such as swords and the like?
Answer:
This is what is coming, meaning he carries the weapon. I mean, the sword has a hilt. The swords of the Companions were adorned with some gold. Not only that, but the belt, the belt of the horse, would have some silver engravings on it. This is also tolerated among them. Yes.
