Is gold removed from a deceased person if doing so results in mutilation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: If the deceased has some gold on him, and removing it results in mutilation, but the heir refuses to do anything other than remove it, is he allowed to?
The Shaykh : He is not allowed to. The right of the deceased takes precedence. That is, we say: If the deceased has gold teeth, and extracting them results in mutilation, but the heir refuses to do anything other than extract them, are they extracted? The answer is no, because the right of the deceased takes precedence.
