The ruling on attaching gold dental braces in cases of need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah grant you success. I am a young man who fears falling into what is forbidden. My father orders me to get dental braces installed, and I am in need of them. My father is insistent on it, and I am waiting for a fatwa from your eminence regarding the ruling on this act.
Answer:
Yes, if he is in need of it, do it. Attach the teeth with gold, because gold does not rust in the mouth. If you attach them with something other than gold, it will rust and develop a foul smell. It is permissible to attach teeth with gold in cases of need; there is no harm in that. Did the scholars issue a ruling on that? Yes.
