The questioner : Is it permissible to use toothpaste during the day in Ramadan? This listener is M. R. from... Yes. Toothpaste.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a person fasting in Ramadan or otherwise to use toothpaste, provided that it does not reach his throat. However, as we all know, toothpaste has a rapid penetration that reaches the throat, and a person may not be able to control it. Therefore, we see that it is better for the fasting person not to use it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to al-Layth ibn Sabrah:Sunan Abi Dawud 2366Sahih (Al-Albani) He said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2366Sahih (Al-Albani) so that excessive snuffing does not lead to water descending from his nostrils to his throat or his stomach. It is more appropriate that a person not use this toothpaste while fasting. If he uses it and is able to control it so that it does not descend into his stomach or reach his throat, there is no harm. Yes.
