The ruling on wearing gold teeth and whether they should be extracted from the deceased?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person dies and has a gold tooth, is it extracted?

Answer:
It is better to extract it, so that people can benefit from it and sell it.
Q: But what about wearing it?
The Shaykh: No, he does not wear teeth made of silver or another metal. It is not permissible to wear gold except in cases of dire necessity when nothing else is available.
Q: Is extracting the gold tooth from his mouth considered desecrating the deceased?
The Shaykh: No, there is no desecration in it; extracting it is easy.
