The Idea that Gold and
Silk Are Prohibited
The Prophet of God (pbuh) took silk and held
it in his right hand, and took gold and held it in
his left hand and said: both of these are prohibit-
ed to the males of my community. (Sunan Abu
Dawud, Book 32, Hadith 4046)
Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari reported: Messenger of
God (pbuh) said, "Wearing
of silk and gold has been
made unlawful for males
and lawful for the females
of my community.'' (At-
Tirmidhi)
