Is it permissible to place or implant a prosthetic mouth (denture), and is it permissible to bury the deceased with this mouth?
It is permissible to install artificial teeth for those who have lost their teeth, based on what was narrated in the hadith of Arfajah ibn As'ad (may Allah be pleased with him) when the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded him to take a nose made of gold in place of his nose that had been cut off. If a person who has installed teeth or a nose dies, it is prescribed to leave them and bury him with them, unless they have value (like gold and silver), in which case they should be removed if there is no fear of disfigurement from doing so.
