Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I have dental appointments for cleaning during the daytime of Ramadan, and I do not know whether the procedure requires anesthesia or not, considering that postponing it takes a long time?
Answer:
By Allah, if it is postponed until after Ramadan or until the night, there is no doubt that this is more cautious. However, if the matter depends on doing it during the day, otherwise you will miss the time or you will suffer pain, there is no harm in proceeding with it, because the teeth are considered part of the exterior of the mouth, in the category of the exterior. But you must be careful that nothing from the effects of the procedure reaches your throat. Reject what happens from the effects of the dental procedure. Be careful of this. Yes.
