Silk bedding: Is it permissible for women?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes, the mere action indicates that it is a recommended practice (sunnah), not that it is obligatory.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Silk bedding is not permissible for men, but there are two opinions among the scholars regarding women. Some said it is permissible based on the generality of
Gold and silk have been permitted for the females of my Ummah أحل الذّهب والحرير لإناث أمّتي
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5148Sahih (Darussalam)
, while others said it is not permissible. What appears to me is that it is not permissible for a woman to spread out silk bedding. I mean, this does not apply to her clothing that contains silk for the purpose of adorning herself for her husband.
