Artificial teeth

[teeeeth]

Okay so ive had braces because i used to have lots of gaps and things, and from my understanding from islamqa that's not forbidden.
However i was born without two of my adult teeth (1 each side of my two main front teeth) and without one of my baby tooths (one of the sides of my two main front teeth), so i have my two main front teeth then on one side a baby one and on the other nothing.
Now tomorrow im getting a bridge to replace the tooth which is missing which i never had, is that haraam because im changing allahs creation? and then my baby tooth im getting built up so it looks like an adult tooth. :( I'm getting it tomorrow i dont know what to do.

[Abu Mus'ab]

I know of nothing that prohibits it :scratch: after all nearly all old(ish) people have false teeth :confused:

[tooth fairy]

Inshallah it shoudl be fine to do this, wfrom what I understand (if someone can correct me please do so)

Do not think of it as changing Allah's creation, that's like saying one can't amputate a leg due to gangrene or one can't get circumcised because of foreskin.

So long as this will make it easier for you to chew food and use your teeth etc etc then it should be fine Inshallah

All the best with it

[.: Anna :.]

filing the teeth is haraam, but this may be someting different?

[-MA-]

Was there not a story of how one of the companions of the prophet sallalahu allayhi wasallam lost the tip of his nose during battle? After the battle, he replaced it with silver shaped into a nose. The prophet :saws2:saw this and gifted him one from gold as the silver he said would corrode over time?

I am no scholar, so take what I say with a pinch of salt. As far as I'm aware there are two reasons/categories; Cosmetic or Reconstructive. It seems you are not so much altering, but rather correcting your teeth. For a choice of a better word. I would see nothing wrong with it, per see.

Again, I am no scholar. And Allaah (swT) knows best.

^^ huh?

[NEWUZER]

^^ huh? filling is haram?

[.: Anna :.]

^^ huh? filling is haram?

not filling as in fillings when people ruined their teeth and have to get filling from the dentist.

filing with one l, as in pronouncing file-ing not fill-ing

it used to be a trend for women to do, and it is prohibited in the same hadith which tells about dont pluck eyebrows

[muhammed_1428]

Oooh right, yeh that makes sense ^

JZK for that Anna (for a minute there I thought really? Not even for damaged teeth?)


A couple of years ago a good friend of mine almost had his motorcycle robbed by some thugs, when he took his helmet off to fight them they snatched the helmet off and beat him in the face with it, he lost like 5 teeth and had to get them replaced... Went to see him in hospital and he was all good Alhamdulilah :D

[teeeeth]

Im not filing my teeth. I'm just geeting a false tooth to replace the one i never had, or ill have just this weird gap, which will look odd. And then my baby tooth im getting it built up to make it look like an adult so my teeth look like an ordinary set of teeth.
What i was a bit worried about was that if i never had perfect teeth in the first place, am i allowed to have this done? Ive just come back from the dentist now and ive had the preparation done and a temporary veneer on top of my baby tooth. My lip is numb :(

Allah s.w.t. says,

فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ

(30:30)

Follow the nature upon which Allah has created mankind. It is not proper to change this nature. (30:30)

Now I ask you whether or not beautification to quench one’s aesthetic sense is in accordance with the nature upon which Allah has created mankind.

So it's wrong...

"we are only permitted to interfere with them in order to correct a natural deformity or repair or remedy an ailment. Any other form of interference or tampering with our body is akin to altering Allah’s creation which has been condemned in the Qur’an. "

It is crystal clear that the Holy prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad-ur Rasulullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wassalaam) cursed women who pluck their eyebrows and file their teeth for the purpose of beautification. this is because it changes the creation of Allah Taa'la.

As for having a bridge to replace a missing tooth be it for medical reasons / medical treatment and/or to correct a fault is permissable. The evidence we have is when a Sahaabah lost his nose in the battle of al-Kulaaab wore a nose made of silver. Another Hadith states that the silver nose decayed, so, the Holy Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad-ur Rasulullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wassalaam) told the the Sahaabah to wear a nose made out of gold.

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR TREATMENT!
