Brushing Your Teeth While Fasting
Question: Is it permissible to brush one’s teeth while fasting? Answer: It is Makrooh to use toothpaste while you are fasting. If per chance the toothpaste goes down your throat, it will invalidate your fast. Rather use the Miswaak, which is a great Sunnah
Hand Sanitizers
Question: With the spread of the Caronavirus, people are being advised to use hand sanitizers frequently. Is it permissible to use a hand sanitizer that contains alcohol in it?
Answer: There are two types of alcohol. The first type is alcohol that is extracted from grapes or dates. It is Haram and impure.
The second type of alcohol is synthetic. Synthetic alcohol refers to alcohol formulated from chemical substances.
The alcohol used in hand sanitizers is synthetic. Therefore, it is permissible to use a hand sanitizer that has synthetic alcohol.
