The ruling on extracting a tooth for a person who is fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This one also says: My teeth are causing me severe pain, and it is during the daytime of Ramadan. So, if I have it extracted, does that break my fast?

Answer:
No, you do not break your fast by having it extracted. It is permissible for a person who is fasting to have a tooth extracted while fasting, and there is no blame on him for that. However, he must be careful not to swallow any of the blood or any of the medicines the doctor applies for the tooth extraction. He should be careful not to swallow any of that. If something goes down without his intention, there is no blame on him for that. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
