Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it said that using or possessing some expensive minerals, such as diamonds and others, is considered extravagance, and therefore not permissible?
Answer:
No, the default is permissibility, and praise be to Allah. We do not forbid anything except with evidence. He created[Al-Jathiyah 45:13] for our benefit, so the default regarding it is permissibility, except for what evidence indicates is forbidden.
