Our companions and other scholars said: The prohibition on using vessels of gold and silver applies equally to both men and women, and there is no difference of opinion concerning this, because of the general meaning of the hadith and the inclusive nature of the reason for which they are forbidden. I know gold is supposed to look more elegant than silver, but I just think that gold silverware wouldn't really look right. You'd have to almost shape your entire dining room set around it, since most other variations of cutlery will look like silver, even if they aren't silver. An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Our companions said: The ummah is unanimously agreed on the prohibition of eating and drinking, or making other uses, of vessels of gold and silver, except what was narrated from Daawood (i.e., that drinking from them is prohibited, but not eating), and the former view of ash-Shaafa‘i. Fa5t3r - I think it was once one of those things where royalty would use gold cutlery as a mark of wealth when dining with others. Gold flatware doesn't really have any advantages in the modern world, now that we've got plenty of metals that aren't going to rust with exposure to moisture.

The differentiation between men and women only applies to using these metals for jewellery, because of the purpose for which women wear jewellery, which is to adorn and beautify themselves for their husbands.

Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: There is no difference of opinion among our companions concerning the fact that using vessels of gold and silver is haraam. This is the view of Abu Haneefah, Maalik and ash-Shaafa‘i, and I do not know of any difference of opinion concerning that. End quote from al-Mughni (1/55). Among the scholars who granted a concession with regard to patching with silver were: Sa‘eed ibn Jubayr, Maysarah, Zaadhaan, Taawoos, ash-Shaafa‘i, Abu Thawr, Ibn al-Mundhir, ashaab ar-ra’y, and Ishaaq. Iluviaporos - I don't really think it's a bad thing for people to use gold plated cutlery now though. As long as they are careful with it, it will last a long time and it could really go with certain kinds of dining room set-ups, particularly ones with a dark theme.
