Ruling on the use of gold out of necessity, such as for medical treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This message is from the presenter, the citizen 'Abd al-Ma'in Hamadi Muhammad al-Mutariqi, from Makkah al-Mukarramah. He says in his message: One of his teeth was damaged, and he wanted to replace it with an artificial tooth, but the dentist found it difficult to do so without covering the adjacent tooth with gold in order to secure it. Does that man sin by covering this tooth with gold, given that he does not want it for adornment, but rather necessity compelled him to do so? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good?
Answer: There is no blame on him in that. Making a tooth for a need, or attaching it to gold for a need, is permissible and there is no blame in it. What is forbidden is to make it for adornment. As for making it out of need for it, there is no blame in that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
