Question

Mufti, i would like to know if it is permissible to brush your teeth using toothpaste while fasting? As long as nothing goes down your throat when brushing your teeth, then is the fast valid?

Answer

Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullah.

Brother/Sister in Islam

It is Makhrooh (reprehensible) to use toothpaste during fasting even though the paste does not go down the throat.

And Allah Knows Best
