Pearls for the Salafiyyeen: A series of preferred opinions of al-Allaamah ibn Uthaymeen
Introducing, bi idhnillaah, a selection of preferred opinions of the Imaam, the Salafi, al-Faqeeh, al-Allaamah Aboo Abdillaah Muhammad ibn Saaleh ibn Uthaymeen, which he chose and as the ?qawl ur-raajih? on different fiqh issues during his explanation of ?Zaad al-Mustaqni? ? (a treatise on Hanbali fiqh), which is entitled ?as-Sharh al-Mumti? alaa Zaad il-Mustaqni? ?.
Over 900 of these preferred opinions are collected in a book ?Tawjeeh ur-Raaghibeen ilaa ikhtiyaaraat as-Shaikh ibn Uthaymeen? by Muhammad adh-Dhiyaab.
And all success lies with Allaah! We continue with:

Using gold and silver utensils for other than eating and drinking.
The preferred opinion of al-Allaamah ibn Uthaymeen:
?The correct opinion is that using them for other than drinking and eating is not haraam because the Prophet (sallallaahualaihi wasallam) prohibited something specific, namely eating and drinking. If other than these two things were also haraam then the Prophet (sallallaahualaihi wasallam) would not have specified something and left something else out, while he was the most eloquent of the people and the clearest in speech. Rather his specifying eating and drinking is a proof that other uses are allowed, since people may benefit from then in other ways. And if they were unrestrictedly haraam the Prophet (sallallaahualaihi wasallam) would have ordered their breakage, just as he (sallallaahualaihi wasallam) did not leave any images except that he broke them. And if something is impermissible in every circumstance then there is no benefit in its existence. ?
