Question:
What is the ruling on plating men’s clothing with gold?
Answer:
We know of nothing regarding it, provided it is not made of gold or silver, but rather of types of shiny brass. We know of nothing regarding that. However, using gold is not permissible if that is found and if one is able to do so.
The experts state that this material in the brocade is not gold, but rather items of shiny brass that are mistaken for gold, though it is not gold. Brass is called "shabah" (resemblance), meaning it resembles gold due to its yellowness and shine at times, but it is not gold. Silver is easier to obtain than gold, but it is also not recommended to use it if it is found.
