The ruling on using toothpaste in Ramadan, the vomiting of the fasting person, and the connection between impurity and prohibition

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person uses toothpaste in the month of Ramadan and it comes out? From some of the front.

The Shaykh:
Also, a small amount is excused in the teeth, or a piece in the eye, or something that falls of blood in the teeth or in the eye is excused, if Allah wills, because a sound thing in the vomit, may Allah be pleased with you. If one intentionally brings it out, it invalidates the wudu.

The questioner:
Instead of you going deep.

The Shaykh:
It invalidates the fast, whereas if one does not intend it, it invalidates the fast, whereas as for the wudu, one should perform wudu from it, due to the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who vomited and then performed wudu and prayed.

The questioner:
Correct.

The Shaykh:
There is no defect in it. From which aspect is this? He said: This is the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and it is not. It is from the chapter of following him (peace be upon him).

The questioner:
May Allah heal you. A strong statement. A strong statement. The statement of Ibn Jasiym. Weak.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, and in the hadith of Thawbah it was said: "So he performed wudu," and it came in al-Dardir, and whoever vomits, there is no making up for him, and whoever persists in it, there is making up for him. Impurifying the place of harm, but the precaution of the believer, as the disbelievers said, is to wash what affected him, is that safer or not? And although his comparison to cold water is a matter of consideration, but his precaution in washing what affected him, there is no doubt that this is more preferable and safer, whereas the comparison to cold water is a matter of consideration.

The questioner:
Is there a connection between impurity and prohibition, specifically in alcohol spirit? Is there a necessary connection?

The Shaykh:
There is disagreement among the scholars. Some of the scholars said there is a connection between them; every prohibited thing is impure, if the young man did not exclude it, and the greatest among them said there is a connection; it is not necessary that prohibition implies impurity. Wearing gold and wearing silk for men is prohibited, but it is not impure, and so are things like poison that kills, but it is not impure. Yes.
