Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) prohibited us from wearing
brocade or silk and drinking out of gold or silver vessels and said,
"These are meant for them (disbelievers) in this
world and for you in the Hereafter.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Silk clothes are forbidden to men but allowed to women. Yet, both sexes are forbidden to use
utensils made of silver and gold. However, the orthodox `Ulama' say that women can use ornaments of silver and
gold and that, it is advisable not to use them because many vices stem from their use and display.

Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who drinks
from the vessel of silver kindles the Fire (of Hell) in his belly.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
A narration in Muslim is: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Surely, he who eats or drinks in gold and silver vessels
fills his belly with Hell-fire.''
Commentary:
To use utensils of silver and gold involves extravagance. Moreover, it is a sign of pride and
ostentatious lifestyle. Allah detests them both. On this count they are major sins, involving the danger of severe
chastisement in Hell-fire.
