Ruling on Removing Gold Teeth from a Deceased Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is from the Arab Republic of Yemen. Ahmad Naji Ahmad Qasim sent us this message, saying in his message: I present these two questions to you, hoping for a radio broadcast of the answer. He says: What is the ruling in Islam if a person has gold teeth at the time of death? Is it obligatory to bury the deceased without removing the teeth, or does Islam rule that they should be removed?
May Allah guide you.
Answer:
It is prescribed to remove them because they are wealth, and it is not permissible to waste them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked the wasting of wealth and was displeased with the wasting of wealth. They should be removed if it is easy to do so. However, if it is not easy, there is no blame on them. And if the family wishes to remove them from him days after his death, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
