The ruling on fasting when food remnants are found between the teeth during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q343: The questioner says: If some food remains between the teeth of a fasting person, does that affect his fast?
A343: If a fasting person wakes up and finds some remnants of
food in his teeth, this does not affect his fast, but he must brush them off, brush off these remnants and get rid of them. It does not affect his fast unless he swallows them. If he intentionally swallows something that remained in his teeth, then this invalidates his fast. However, if he swallows it while ignorant or forgetful, then this does not affect his fast. A Muslim should strive to keep his mouth clean after eating, whether he is fasting or not, for cleanliness is required of a Muslim. He should take care of his teeth and mouth and clean them after eating so that no remnants remain that emit bad odors, cause him harm, and affect his teeth. Cleanliness and care for one's teeth and mouth, as well as other matters of cleanliness, are required of a Muslim.
