Ruling on gold teeth and whether they should be removed upon death

The question: A listener (Hassan A.) residing in Riyadh sent a question asking: What is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding the installation of gold teeth for men when there is a dire necessity? And if a man dies while having gold teeth installed, is he buried with them, or are they removed? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
The answer: In case of dire necessity, there is no harm in that for men and women, but it is better for the man, if possible, that they be made of something other than gold, if that is facilitated.
And if he dies with them on him, they should be removed; because they are wealth that should not be wasted, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the wasting of wealth, so they are taken to benefit from them. But if they forget them or leave them, there is nothing on them, so we do not know anything on them in that, if they forget them or leave them intentionally, because extracting them may be burdensome, so there is no harm in that and no blame, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter: Is there not mutilation of the corpse in that, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: No, there is no mutilation if they take them, there is no mutilation.
The presenter: There is no mutilation?
The Shaykh: There is no mutilation, they take them and benefit from them, they are sold.
The presenter: They are sold.
The Shaykh: From the estate.
The presenter: But the opinion you prefer, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: The point is: if they take them, there is no harm, and if they leave them, there is no harm, if it is facilitated to take them, that is better; because leaving them is wasting wealth.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
