Removing false teeth at the time of Wudhu

· 16 Rajab 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If one is wearing false teeth, does it have to be removed when making Wudhu?

Answer

To remove the false teeth when making Wudhu is difficult, hence, it will not be necessary to remove it at the time of every Wudhu. One should merely gargle the mouth whilst wearing the false teeth.
