| Question: Ruling on aftertaste of toothpaste, food, drinks and miswak on validity of fasting | |
| Salamoalaikom, what is the ruling on brushing your teeth with toothpaste whilst fasting and the taste that remains after it in the mouth? When I brush my teeth while fasting, I take care that no particles enter the throat, whilst brushing. Immediately after I rinse my mouth without gargling and try my best to spit out everything. All the macro particles are gone and I don’t feel anything in my mouth except saliva and the taste/flavor of toothpaste, just like one feels the aftertaste of food and miswak. What is the ruling on that after taste of food, toothpaste and miswak respectively and does it break the fast? If so, then even brushing shortly before Fajr wouldn’t fix the issue, correct? Should I refrain from toothpaste in that scenario? Jazak’Allahu Khairan, Wa Al-Salam. | |
