Chapter: Wearing and Spreading Silk for Men and the Amount Permitted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Reciter: Chapter on wearing and spreading silk for men, and the amount permitted thereof. Adam narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us.
The Shaykh : He only said, may Allah have mercy on him: "for men" because it is permissible for women to wear and use silk in clothing without doubt. Is it permissible for them to use silk in bedding? There are two opinions among the scholars. Some said it is permissible for a woman to make a bed of silk due to the generality of the hadith,.
Others said it is not permissible because it is only permitted for her to wear silk for the sake of adorning herself with it, just as it is permitted for her to wear gold. Bedding is not part of the adornment that pertains to her. Just as it is not permissible for her to spread a bed of gold, it is not permissible for her to spread a bed of silk. Without doubt, this is more cautious; the opinion prohibiting women from spreading silk is closer to the truth than the opinion permitting it.
