The bridle of the horse and the adornment of the sword with gold and silver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah inform you, what is the ruling on my bridle, a bridle made of gold or silver, and does it resemble the adornment?
The Shaykh:
The prohibition extends to the bridles of horses and the saddles placed on horses; it is not permissible to make them of silk, gold, or silver; none of it is permissible. Peace be upon you. Evidence has come regarding the adornment of the sword and the belt; it is reported that the swords of the Companions were adorned with gold and silver, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not disapprove of it. Therefore, the jurists said that it is permissible to use gold and silver for the sword hilt and the belt adornment, because this was known and not disapproved of, so these are exceptions. Yes.
Another questioner:
May Allah reward you for the question about the bowl.
The Shaykh:
No, if no evidence has come regarding it, it is not to be analogized. Yes.
