World Hunger And Gold In Kaaba
The kingship requires display of magnificence and richness. Once the kingship was esablished, it automatically stats displaying such things. In addition to that sometime aesthetic sense also dictates such kind of craftsmanship. No such thing was there in times of Prophet Mohammad saw and Khulfa rashideen. However, It was expanded to accamodate large number of muslims during Khulfa rashideen era. Btw there is nothing inherently haram in decorationg Kaaba or any other places.
I am not asking if use of gold decorating haram shareef is halal or haram. I am asking is it permissible or OK to use then what are we going to explain this to a non Muslim about millions of poor Muslims around the world are starving and we are using expensive metals only for the purpose of zeenat.
