But people often ask a question about brushing teeth with toothpaste while fasting is permissible or not ?

There is conflict between ulama karam on this topic that whether brushing teeth with toothpaste is permissible while fasting or not .

Some scholars say it’s permissable because prophet ( peace be upon him ) was brushing his teeth with miswak even while fasting .

Sheikh Ahmed narrated that it is fine to brush teeth while fasting until he don’t swallow it . And fast only break when some one swallow it and it reach to his stomach .
On the other hand some scholars belive it’s is Makruh because it contains some flavors and chemicals like sugar and sugar dissolve when it is placed in mouth with help of saliva . And it is Makruh to taste or swallow something In fast and can break fast .

Most of the scholars suggest that is is allowed to use toothpaste in fast but it’s better to use miswak as using miswak is Sunnah as well .

Allah knows better .
