The questioner : ...for use.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is this placed in the house?
The Shaykh : It is placed in the house and used for purposes other than eating and drinking, is that right? One puts medicine in it, one puts dirhams in it, one puts other things in it, just as Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her), who is the narrator of the hadith prohibiting it, had silver vessels. She had a silver container containing some hairs from the hairs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
