The Ruling on Reattaching a Severed Limb and Implanting a Tooth After Extraction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible. The limb is required to be destroyed, so it cannot be reattached. It is not permissible for doctors to reattach it; they must be prevented from doing so. The intent is to destroy it. The limb is not left to be taken away; it is received, taken, and buried. It is not left to be discarded; no, it is taken and buried.

The questioner:
And if he is subjected to retaliation by having a tooth extracted, is it permissible for him to implant another tooth?

The Shaykh:
The matter has become common since then. Is the tooth not implanted? How?
