The questioner : What is the ruling on making teeth out of gold and silver?
The Shaykh : As for silver, it is not possible, because they say that silver rusts. Does it rust?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : It does not rust?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It appears that it is platinum. I heard that silver rusts, and the apparent meaning of the hadith of 'Urfajah is that he made a nose out of silver, and then it stank, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a ruling for him to make a nose out of gold. In any case, gold teeth are permissible if there is a need for them.

The Shaykh : We said it is not permissible. If it suffices for the need... then it is not permissible, especially gold. Silver is less severe. The Shaykh al-Islam said there is no general text indicating the prohibition of silver in general. Is that correct?
