Question:
If a man dies and is buried with gold in his teeth or among his teeth, and several years have passed since his burial, is it obligatory to dig up the grave and remove it?
Answer:
No, but before he is washed, if it is possible to remove the gold teeth from him, that should be done; because it is wealth, and wealth is not to be wasted. As for if he has been buried and the matter is concluded, then it is not done. Yes.
