Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to make a tooth gold for one whose tooth was broken?
Answer:
This is permissible out of dire necessity, because anything other than gold will rot in the mouth and change, whereas gold does not change and does not rot. It is not possible [to use other materials], and some of the Companions had their noses cut off, so one of them made a nose out of silver, but it stank on him, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to make a nose out of gold. This is for dire necessity, and there is nothing wrong with it. As for the teeth, attaching them to gold is for dire necessity. However, attaching them for adornment or covering them for adornment is forbidden. But if this is for a pressing need, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
