Using silk pillows, duvets and blankets

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2020-02-22 06:42

Q: Is it permissible to use or nap on silk pillow covers or silk bed sheets for men? What if it was given to me to use for medical purposes? (For which I obviously hold intentions upon).

A: On account of the difference of opinion between Imaam Abu Hanifah and his two senior students Imaam Abu Yusuf and Imaam Muhammad (rahimahumallah) in this mas'alah, it is best for one to abstain from using silk pillows, silk duvets and silk blankets.

Nevertheless, if one requires to use them for medical purposes, it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
