The ruling on removing gold from the teeth of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person dies and he had gold in his teeth or his nose, is it removed from him, since the necessity has ceased?
Answer:
If it can be taken out without harming the body of the deceased, there is no harm in it; it is successful, because it is wealth and should not be destroyed; it would be destroyed along with the deceased. However, if it cannot be taken out except by mistreating the body of the deceased, then it is left, due to the sanctity of the deceased. Yes.
