Brushing Teeth for the Fasting Person
What is the ruling for someone who is fasting, if I have been brushing my teeth with toothpaste during Ramadan for years? Does it break the fast and must it be made up?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If you do not feel a taste in your throat while cleaning your teeth or afterwards, you do not break your fast, and it is not judged that you have broken your fast in the past. You should avoid this in the future, and God knows best.
