Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person keeps gold and silver vessels, which are a material of value, and he never uses them for anything, is that permissible for him?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to keep them in their form as vessels; it is not permissible to use them, nor to keep them in their form as vessels. However, he may go to the goldsmiths and have them convert them for him; they extract the gold and silver from the vessels. Do the vessels remain as they are? Yes.
