Benefits and Issues:
Since brass and bronze vessels have a color similar to that of gold, the Imam rahimahullah has presented these narrations to remove this doubt. However, it is not permissible to use vessels made of pure gold, silver, or those plated with them. It is only permissible to the extent of soldering (joining with a small amount for repair).
