Question
Is it permissible for a fasting person to brush his teeth during the fasting hours of Ramadan?

Answer
Dr. Ali Goma Mohammed

It is permissible to use water and toothpaste during the fasting hours of Ramadan as long as nothing reaches the body cavity through a body orifice as this will break the fast. It is better to brush one's teeth at any time other than the fasting hours to remove oneself from Satan's whisperings.
