The issue of the prohibition of drinking from gold vessels in Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is difficult for me to understand that one who drinks from a gold vessel will not drink from it, even if he enters Paradise. I find this difficult because Paradise contains what souls desire and what eyes delight in.
Answer:
It is forbidden to him as a punishment, similar to one who drank intoxicants in this world and will not drink them in the Hereafter. What is meant is that he commits disbelief and becomes among the people of the Fire. He enters Paradise as a sinner. Allah accepted his repentance and punished him, then he entered Paradise. He is forbidden from drinking the pure wine of Paradise. He drank the foul intoxicants in this world, so he is forbidden from the pure wine in the Hereafter as a punishment for him. Yes. Unless he repents. If he repents from that, Allah accepts his repentance. But if he dies while drinking it, he is forbidden from it in the Hereafter, even if he enters Paradise. Yes.
