Is wearing Khazz (silk/brocade) permissible?

Primary text

Wearing Khazz is permissible. Imam Abu Abdullah (Ahmad ibn Hanbal) saw no issue with wearing Khazz. This permissibility is supported by the actions of several Companions (Sahaba) and Successors (Tabi'un), including Imran ibn Husayn, Anas ibn Malik, Al-Hasan ibn Ali, Abu Hurayrah, Qays, Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, Ghaylan ibn Jarir, Shibil ibn Awf, Qatadah, 'A'idh ibn 'Amr, Ibn Abbas, Abu Qatadah, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, Al-Husayn ibn Ali, Abdullah ibn Al-Harith ibn Abi Rabi'ah, Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, and Shurayh, who wore Khazz garments such as outer cloaks (*mataarif*), robes (*jubab*), and hooded cloaks (*baranis*). The widespread practice, such as Abu Hurayrah wearing a dusty Khazz cloak given to him by Marwan, was noted without any known opposition, establishing a consensus (*ijma'*). Furthermore, a man in Bukhara reported being clothed by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) with a black Khazz turban, as narrated by Abu Dawud. Malik also reported in his Muwatta that 'A'ishah clothed Abdullah ibn Al-Zubayr with a Khazz outer cloak she used to wear.
