Abrogation of prohibition of the use of gold and silver utensils
From Bahai9
Permission to eat from gold (or silver) dishes[edit]
"Whoso wisheth to make use of vessels of silver and gold is at liberty to do so."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, par. 46)
"In the Bayán the Báb allowed the use of gold and silver utensils, thus abrogating the Islamic condemnation of their use which stems not from an explicit injunction of the Qur'án but from Muslim traditions. Bahá'u'lláh here confirms the Báb's ruling."
- (Notes to the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, no. 72)
"Abrogation of specific laws and ordinances of previous Dispensations, which prescribed...Prohibition of the use of gold and silver utensils"
