Is it not said that using a silver chain for the sake of need is permissible? Is it not permissible to use silver for the sake of need in the same way?

The questioner : Shaykh, we said that the ruling on eating from gold and silver is prohibition.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : ... for the sake of need, from the type of vessel, okay Shaykh, is it not said that ...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : Silver ... and this ruling ... now there are minerals ...

The Shaykh : Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The meaning of need is that one needs this thing itself, not that it be made of silver. He said: Because if one needs it to be made of silver, it becomes a dire necessity. For this reason, the jurists said that need is when a purpose other than adornment is attached to it.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The chain, may Allah reward you, the chain is not permissible.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It has no solution ... it takes its place, yes?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, it is taken from the fact that the Messenger prohibited ... authentic, yes?
