GHUSL and CROWNED TEETH According to the Hanafî Madhhab (school), it is Fardh (obligatory) to wash the mouth and the nostrils, for they are regarded as external parts of the body. Whereas, it is a Sunnah act to wash the mouth and the nostrils according to the Shafi’î Madhhâb (school). If one has crowned or filled teeth the obligatory ghusl (ritual bath) is regarded as having been fulfilled with the washing of their outer surfaces. Yet, it is compulsory to take out the tooth/teeth if they are removable.
