The ruling on digging up a grave to remove a gold tooth that the deceased had willed be removed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) had a gold tooth fitted and willed that it be removed from him when he died, but we did not do so out of our forgetfulness. He says: What is the ruling in this? And is it permissible to dig up the grave for that purpose?

Answer:
No, no, the grave is not to be dug up, and since you forgot, you are excused in this. Yes.
