Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, some people in the past used to remove their teeth and have gold or silver teeth fitted in place of the original tooth. Is the one who does this now considered a sinner, or is it permissible? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for men, it is not permissible for them to use gold in their teeth except out of necessity. If they need to bond their teeth with gold, there is nothing wrong with that, because gold does not rust, unlike silver, which does rust. As for women, it is permissible for them to adorn themselves with gold and silver, but if there is no need for this, then it is considered extravagance. The tooth that Allah created is better than the tooth that is fitted, if the intention is to remove the tooth and put something of gold in its place. However, if the intention is to cover the teeth with gold for women, it is permissible for women to adorn themselves with gold; it is not forbidden for them. Yes.
