The Ruling on Spreading the Teeth for Women and the Ruling on Straightening Crooked Teeth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with the questions that reached us a little while ago. This sister is asking about the matter of spreading the teeth for a woman and straightening the crooked ones. Honorable Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
As for straightening the crooked ones, there is nothing wrong with it, because this is a treatment for a defect in the teeth. As for spreading them and widening the space between them, this is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who spread their teeth for the sake of beauty. If the teeth are sound, one should not mess with them, nor spread them apart or widen the space between them. This is forbidden, and the one who does it is cursed by the curse of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
