Removing a tooth from a fasting person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q6, 7: Does extracting teeth and the resulting bleeding invalidate the fast? Given that the patient may be able to postpone the treatment until night or even until after Ramadan.
Is there a sin on the dentist for treating the patient when it would have been better to postpone the treatment, as in the previous questions?
A6, 7: It is permissible for a fasting person to have a tooth extracted while fasting, provided he takes care to prevent anything from the effects of the extraction from going down his throat, and there is no blame on the dentist for performing the treatment in this case.
