Ruling on Removing Medical Pins from the Body of a Deceased Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

If a person has a pin in his foot—and it is a metal rod placed to connect the bones—should the pin be removed when this person is buried?
It is not removed.
Rather, it is buried with him because it has no value of importance, and it may not be removed except by cutting the flesh. If that is the case, then it is not permissible to remove it.
