Rugs made of silk
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We have pieces of carpet in our home made of silk, which are laid out in the sitting room on occasions so that people walk on them. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If they are made of natural, original silk, it is not permissible. But if it is artificial silk, it does not carry the ruling of silk, so it is permissible. However, if they are made of original silk, it is not permissible to use them, meaning to lay them out, nor to walk on them, nor to hang them on the wall as decoration. Yes.
