The ruling on using vessels coated with gold or silver

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner for the program asks: Is it permissible to use vessels coated with gold to prevent rust?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the prohibition of using gold and silver vessels. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not eat in gold or silver plates, and do not drink from them, for they are for them in this worldلا تأكلوا في صحاف الذهب والفضة، ولا تشربوا فيها، فإنها لهم في الدنيا
meaning: the disbelievers.
And for you in the Hereafterولكم في الآخرة
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The one who drinks from a silver vessel is swallowing Hell-fire into his belly.الذي يشرب في إناء الذهب والفضة إنما يجرجر في بطنه نار جهنم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3413Sahih (Darussalam)
So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against this; he forbade us from eating or drinking in gold and silver vessels, and said: They are for the disbelievers in this world, and for you in the Hereafter. He mentioned a severe warning for whoever does that, saying:
The one who drinks from a silver vessel is swallowing Hell-fire into his belly.الذي يشرب في إناء الذهب والفضة إنما يجرجر في بطنه نار جهنم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3413Sahih (Darussalam)
This is a severe warning that indicates the need to be cautious of it.
The use of vessels coated with gold or silver falls under this ruling. A vessel may be made entirely of gold, or it may be coated with gold, or coated with silver, and the ruling is the same. Whether it is made of pure gold, or pure silver, or coated with one of them, it is obligatory to be cautious of it. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
