Can she have her overlapping teeth filed?

Praise be to Allah.

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, because this is removing a fault; it is not being done in order to make her more beautiful.

Question:

But it will have the result of making her look more beautiful.

Answer:

There’s nothing wrong with that (because that is not the original aim; it will happen as a consequence).

And Allaah knows best.
