Fatwa #71599 November 2002South Africa

Is it permissible to brush your teeth with toothpaste while fasting duting Ramadaan?

Answer

One should not use toothbrush and toothpaste during the fast.

One should rather use a Miswaak. However, if somebody did use toothpaste, but nothing went down the throat, the fast had not broken. However, it should not be done in future.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
