Gold-coated tableware and sanitary ware


362

A: If the reality is as you mentioned, it is not permissible to sell utensils and sanitary ware that are plated with gold or silver, whether they are sold to either men or women. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do not drink from vessels of gold or silver, and do not eat in plates made from them, for these things are for them (disbelievers) in this world and for you in the Hereafter." He (peace be upon him) also said: "If anyone drinks or eats from vessels of gold or silver, it is as if the fire of Hell is rumbling in their stomach." Other uses take the same ruling as eating and drinking, due to the generality of the meaning; to block the means leading to sins.The same applies to men's watches and eyeglasses that are plated with silver or gold. It is not permissible to sell these items to men.May Allah grant us all success and aid everyone to do what is good!May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
