What is the ruling on using toothpaste while fasting?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does cleaning the teeth with toothpaste in the morning of Ramadan or during the day invalidate the fast?

Answer:
It does not invalidate the fast. Using toothpaste in the mouth is permissible for the one who is fasting, but he must spit out what dissolves in his mouth; he must not swallow it. He spits it out and discards it.
