حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ ، قَالَ : حُلَّةُ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ ، وَقَالَ : فِيهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ ، وَقَالَ : تَبِيعُهَا وَتُصِيبُ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Abdullah bin Umar through a different chain of narrators. This version has: He said: A robe of silk brocade. He then sent him a Jubbah of brocade and said: You may sell it and fulfill your need.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Whether silk is thick or thin, the ruling for all is the same, and the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered it to be sold because, in and of itself, it was lawful (halal), even though it was forbidden (haram) for men to wear it. Thus, items that are lawful from one perspective and unlawful from another, their trade is permissible.
