Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: My daughter has wear on the surfaces of her teeth. The dentist told her that she can have a filling made from certain materials. The question is: Is this work permissible? And does it prevent water from reaching the teeth during ritual purity and rinsing?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; this is treatment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani), and this treatment with what is permissible is, praise be to Allah, permissible.
