Disposal of Broken Teeth

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Mahmoodiyah

Question:

I heard that if a person’s lower teeth are broken then the teeth should be buried but if the upper teeth are broken then it should be put on a high place like a roof top, etc is this true?


Answer:

 

We have not come across any authentic source regarding the burying of the lower teeth and placing the upper teeth that has been extracted on a high place, but according to the Jurists any part of a human that becomes separated must be buried.  (Al-Mughni li Ibni Qudamah, Vol. 1, Page 89, Kitaabul Majmoo’, Vol. 5, Page 213, Fataawaa ‘Aalamgeeriyyah, Vol. 5, Page 358)
