Removing a gold tooth from a deceased person before burial

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a deceased person has a gold tooth, is it obligatory to remove it, or is he buried with it?

Answer:
If it causes harm to the body of the deceased, it is left in place. However, if it does not cause harm and can be removed without harm, there is nothing wrong with removing it. Yes.
