Dental Repair and Capping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh said, “It is also a narrowing; the teacher and her student are both affected.”
Answer:
If there is a need for it, because it causes pain to the owner or there is disfigurement, there is no harm in repairing it. If there is disfigurement or pain, there is no harm in repairing it and grinding it down to remove the disfigurement or the defect in it. Capping it, whether with gold or other materials, is also for the sake of treatment and removing disfigurement. However, if the teeth are sound and normal, it is not permissible to tamper with them, grind them, or cap them for the sake of beauty. This is not permissible.
