The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

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.
