Ruling on Filing Teeth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: When is it permissible to file the teeth, and when is it forbidden?
Answer:
Filing the teeth is only permissible if there is a defect in them, such as some being long and some short, and she is harmed by that. In that case, the long ones are filed down to be even with the short ones. As for if the teeth are sound, it is not permissible to file them for the sake of beauty, as some women do. These are the women who file their teeth for beauty, and they are cursed. It is the same hadith: the women who file their teeth for beauty. As for those who file their teeth for treatment, there is no harm in that. Yes.
