The questioner : Regarding a gold tooth of a deceased person: should this tooth be removed and added to the estate, or should its value be given in charity, or should it be buried in another place, because it is considered one of the assets that do not accompany the deceased in his grave?
The Shaykh : Yes. If a person dies and has a gold tooth, it must be removed, unless removing it would cause the other teeth to fall out. In that case, it is not removed and remains with the deceased until it is presumed to have decayed and been consumed by the earth, after which it is extracted, unless the heirs forgive its remaining with him forever. If they forgive it, there is no need to dig it up later. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner says.
