Gold Teeth: Is It Obligatory to Remove Them During Ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 5271 )
Q: I had some of my teeth extracted, and the doctor fitted me with teeth that do not move and cannot be removed from their place. When I asked a scholar about their installation, he told me that it is not permissible for me to perform wudu' without removing them. Is this correct or not?
A: It is permissible for you to perform ablution without removing these teeth, and your prayer with this ablution is valid. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Hajj 22:78], and He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:286], and He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:185], and He said: [At-Taghabun 64:16]. It is also established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 7288. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَاAllah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship
يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَSo fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْAnd if I order you to do something, then do of it as much as you can.
إذا أمرتكم بأمر فأتوا منه ما استطعتم
