The Use of Toothpaste During Fasting and Its Effect on the Reward
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a person uses toothpaste with the intention of making his breath smell good, does he lose the reward, may Allah reward you? Because he has eliminated the bad breath, may Allah reward you?
The Shaykh:
What is loved is that it lightens it somewhat, and it rises every hour. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah welcome you.
The Shaykh:
But something like this may lighten the matter, so if he does it, there is nothing wrong with it. He may use soap, the toothbrush, and these things they make; they do no harm.
