Question
Can we brush teeth while fasting it's allowed in islam
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedNo, brushing with toothpaste while fasting is considered makrooh (disliked).
Therefore, brushing during the day is not regarded as appropriate; it is better to brush before Suhoor or after Iftar.
However, if toothpaste or water goes down the throat, the fast will break.
