Wearing gold teeth
Question
Are men permitted to wear gold teeth?
Answer
Men are not permitted to wear gold teeth as donning oneself with gold is prohibited for men. Yes, if there is a need, and there is no other way of fulfilling the necessity except by donning gold, then it will be permitted (on the basis of necessity.)
