Pilgrims embarking on the 2016 annual Hajj have been advised to seek piety and Allah’s forgiveness instead of wearing gold teeth for glamour when they reach Saudi Arabia.
The Chief Imam of Uthman bn Affan Mosque, Malam Abubakar Yusuf, gave the advice on Monday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin.
Yusuf said that gold teeth or grills had been denounced by some clerics as expensive, ostentatious, and superficial displays that strained the finances of the pilgrims.
