Primary text

Cloaks stuffed with silk are not prohibited. This is the position of Al-Qadi and Al-Shafi'i, because in such cases, there is no element of ostentation (*khuyala*) involved.

Supporting text

It is possible to argue for prohibition based on the general scope of the relevant narration concerning silk.
