The Ruling on Gold Teeth for the Purpose of Need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have gold molars, and a dentist advised me to get them. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
Yes, if you need them, there is nothing wrong with it, because gold does not rust, unlike other metals; if you put another metal in, it will rust and smell bad, but gold has the property that it does not rust or smell. You are not wearing it for adornment, you are wearing it out of necessity, that is not true, there is nothing wrong with it. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), during his time, had the nose of one of the Companions cut off in one of the battles, so he ordered him to make a nose of silver, but it gave off a bad smell, meaning it developed an odor, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to make a nose of gold. This is for necessity, there is nothing wrong with it; it is not for adornment, but rather for necessity.
