silk

Al Salamo Aliko W Rahmato Allah W Barakato, I would like to take this opportunity to thank your for your guidance thought answering our questions regarding Islam. I wanted to inquire about wearing Silk Ties. I am sure it is a famous questions and I did read lots of your answers regarding this issue on the website, but I am still confused about it. First of all, I have to mention that there is absolutely no tie nowawadays that is not made of silk and that makes it very hard for Muslims to appear elegant. (except wool ties of course which are not that good). I searched a lot for non-silk ties here in Germany and the best I could find was made up of only 25% of silk and the rest is either linen or cotton. Now, the question is whether it is allowed to wear such a tie. I know the Hadith of `Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, forbade the wearing of silk except for an area the width of two fingers, or three or four (meaning a small amount of silk that equals two, three, or four close fingers). (Reported by Muslim, 3/1644)?. So what does four close finger physically mean when it comes to ties, is it about 20 or 30% Silk ?Furthurmore, what is the tie made of artificial silk rather than nature silk ?Looking forward for your reply..

Salam Alaykum.. I need clarification on something please.  In Surat al Hajj, verse 23 (and in many other places in the Qur'an) I've noticed that when speaking of Jannah it says the dwellers of Jannah will be clothed in silk and adorned with gold bracelets.  "...they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk" (22:23)  I'm just wondering since the Prophet (s.a.w) said this about silk: ?This cloth is not suitable for the God fearing?. (Bukhari, Kitaab al-Libaas)  and it's well known gold is the same... then how come it will be worn in Jannah? Are things prohibited in the dunya allowed in Jannah? I understand silk is prohibited for reasons of extravagance, Israaf, so am I right in guessing that the believers have been rewarded lavish luxuries and extravagances in Jannah because they have earned the right to endulge in Israaf?  Thanking you in advance...

As salaam o alaiqum,Is it permissible for a man to wear a shirt which is 55% silk and 45% non-silk?  Or,  for the sake of Allah should His servant leave it?Many thanks!

Assalamu aliakum wa rahmatu Allah, Is it permissible to use in the house pure silk Persian rugs either on the floor or for decorating the walls ?also is it permissible to use pure silk bed sheets ?Jazakum Allah Khayran

Assalamo Alykum Dear Scholar: I have to wear a tie at my work .Is it permissible to wear one and I cannot find a tie in the market which is not made of 100% pure silk

Is it permissible for men to wear clothes that are made of pure silk and partially from other non-silk materials (e.g., 50% silk and 50% other fibers) since some scholars have stated that it is allowed for men to wear garments containing four fingers’ width of silk, because of the Hadith reported by `Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, has forbidden the wearing of silk except for an area whose width is of two fingers, three or four. (Reported by Muslim, 3/1644)
