As long as a person is alive, he has the most right to his wealth. If he dies, whatever he has of rings, bracelets, and the like should be removed, because leaving them is considered a waste of money, which has now become the right of the heirs. Removing them is not considered harming the deceased. However, if he has a nose, teeth, or a bone set with gold, none of that should be removed, as it would constitute an assault and mutilation of him.
