Summary
Scholars agree that vessels made of gold and silver are forbidden to use without a pressing need. For plated vessels, the fatwa notes differing views among the schools: the Hanafi and Shafii schools permit it under certain conditions, while the Hanbali school forbids it. If the plating is slight and cannot be separated from the vessel, using it is permissible, but if it is substantial and can be separated by melting, it is forbidden. Even so, it is preferable to avoid using such a tray in order to step out of the disagreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika saduran itu sedikit iaitu tidak dapat dipisahkan dari bekas itu maka harus menggunakannya kerana emas atau peraknya telah musnah di dalam logam lain.
