The Ruling on Filing Teeth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on one who files the spaces between his teeth while ignorant of the ruling, and what is obligatory for him to do after that?
Answer:
Even men file the spaces between their teeth; this is regarding women. If men have reached this point, it is one of the wonders. It is not permissible for a man to file his teeth. Filing teeth for the sake of beauty is a curse upon the one who does it. This is not like treatment; dental treatment is different from filing.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
