In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.679
The Senior Scholars Project in Kuwait,

00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:12.980
in cooperation with the Foundation of Sheikh 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Baz,

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:14.480
may Allah have mercy on him,

00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.679
is pleased to present to you

00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:21.510
"The Juristic Selections

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:25.600
in Matters of Worship and Transactions,"

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.199
drawn from the fatwas of the eminent scholar and Imam,

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.799
'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baz,

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:35.399
may Allah have mercy on him,

00:00:35.990 --> 00:00:38.390
compiled and arranged by Sheikh

00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:41.890
Khalid Ibn Sa'ud Ibn 'Amir al-'Ajmi.

00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:45.439
The Book of Purification.

00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:48.070
Chapter on Utensils.

00:00:49.820 --> 00:00:53.119
The eminent Imam Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:58.850
"If it is known that faucets and vessels are plated with gold or silver,

00:00:59.149 --> 00:01:00.950
it is not permissible to use them,

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.840
due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.140
'Whoever drinks from a vessel of gold or silver,

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.140
or a vessel containing anything of that sort,

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.140
only draws the fire of Hell into his belly.'

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.840
This is a general prohibition encompassing pure gold and silver,

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:22.239
as well as whatever is plated with either of them.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.340
Furthermore, because plated items carry the adornment and beauty of gold,

00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:29.340
they are forbidden and impermissible by the explicit text of the hadith.

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.739
The same applies to small utensils,

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:35.540
such as teacups, coffee cups, and spoons;

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.340
it is not permissible for them to be made of gold or silver.

00:01:39.739 --> 00:01:42.739
Rather, it is obligatory to avoid them and beware of using them.

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.540
It is not permissible to use gold and silver in buildings, doors, and the like.

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.840
And in his saying, peace and blessings be upon him:

00:01:52.340 --> 00:01:54.640
'Indeed, they are for the disbelievers in this world,

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.140
and for you'—meaning the Muslims—'in the Hereafter,'

00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:04.640
there is an admonition prohibiting their use in doors, walls, ceilings, furnishings, and the like.

00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:10.020
No one is permitted to use gold and silver vessels under any circumstances,

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.020
neither for practical use nor for decoration;

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.020
the same applies to plated items,

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.520
whether plated with gold or silver.

00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:21.469
Any vessel suspected of being contaminated with impurity,

00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:25.469
whether belonging to disbelievers or others,

00:02:25.969 --> 00:02:27.469
one should wash it and then eat from it,

00:02:28.469 --> 00:02:30.969
just as he, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

00:02:31.469 --> 00:02:33.469
'If you do not find any other vessels,

00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:35.969
then wash them and eat from them.'

00:02:36.469 --> 00:02:38.469
Likewise, performing ablution from them

00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:41.469
is unobjectionable once they are washed.

00:02:42.509 --> 00:02:46.009
Gold teeth are permissible exclusively for women.

00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:47.509
As for men,

00:02:48.009 --> 00:02:52.509
it is not permissible for them to wear gold teeth if an alternative is readily available.

00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:57.090
If a man fits a gold tooth merely for adornment,

00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:59.090
he is obligated to remove it.

00:02:59.590 --> 00:03:05.199
It has been established in authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,

00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:09.199
that the hide of a dead animal is purified through tanning;

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:11.199
once it is tanned, it becomes pure,

00:03:11.699 --> 00:03:15.199
and it may be used for both dry and liquid items.

00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:17.199
This is the correct view,

00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:19.699
because it has been characterized as purified.

00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.699
In summary, it is permissible to utilize the hides of dead animals

00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.699
from among lawful, edible animals after tanning for all purposes,

00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:29.699
for moist and dry substances,

00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.699
for milk and for water.

00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.530
As for the skins of predatory beasts, foxes, wolves, and leopards,

00:03:37.030 --> 00:03:40.030
there is extensive disagreement among the scholars regarding them.

00:03:40.530 --> 00:03:44.530
What is proper is that they should neither be acquired nor used,

00:03:45.030 --> 00:03:49.030
because hadiths have been transmitted prohibiting the skins of predatory beasts,

00:03:49.530 --> 00:03:52.030
and prohibiting using them as furnishings or riding upon them.

00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:55.030
Moreover, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, characterized

00:03:55.530 --> 00:03:58.030
tanning as a purification and a form of ritual slaughter;

00:03:58.530 --> 00:04:03.530
this indicates that tanning applies only to what is rendered pure through ritual slaughter.

00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:07.530
Therefore, a believer should not use the skins of predatory beasts;

00:04:08.030 --> 00:04:11.030
this is the weightiest of the scholarly opinions,

00:04:11.530 --> 00:04:13.530
and it is the most cautious course for the believer."
