Using a dentist’s water to cool a fasting patient’s tooth during filing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: A dentist uses water to cool the tooth-filing instrument. Does the fasting patient’s unintentional swallowing of this water affect the fast? The patient is able to postpone the treatment until night or even until after Ramadan.
A5: There is nothing wrong with placing water in the mouth of a fasting person for treatment or other purposes, provided that he does not intentionally swallow it. If some of it goes down his throat without his intention, he has done nothing wrong. Postponing the treatment until night or until after Ramadan is more cautious.
