Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "Silk garments": In Arabic, the word "Qassi" is used. Qas was the name of a village in the region of Egypt where silk garments were made. These were called Qassi. What is meant here is silk garments, whether they are made in Qas or elsewhere, because the reason for prohibition is the silk itself, not that they are made in the village of Qas. Another explanation given is that Qas was originally "Qazz," which means raw silk. Thus, Qassi refers to garments made from raw silk, meaning the use of silk is forbidden for men whether it is raw or processed.
(2) "Red silk cushions": Silk cushions were generally red in color; otherwise, silk cushions are forbidden, whether they are red, green, white, or black.
(3) "Ja‘ah": Nabidh (fermented drink) of barley in which there is intoxication.
