Ask The Imam Question and Answer

1126 Can you brush your teeth in Ramadan? Also can you taste food when cooking for your family?
It is considered Makrooh (disliked) to brush your teeth during Fast. If one does brush teeth and the toothpaste is swallowed with saliva then this will break the Fast, and the same applies if using fresh Miswaak and the taste residue of the Miswaak is swallowed.

As far as cooking is concerned if the food item is placed in the mouth (tip of tongue) to test the cooking, then rinsed out completely with water then this will not break the Fast. However if it is swallowed then the Fast will break.
