Does using toothpaste invalidate one’s fast?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed

Does using toothpaste invalidate one’s fast?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Using toothpaste does not invalidate one’s fast unless some of it reaches the body cavity.

[Thus, one should exercise due precaution, and try to avoid using toothpaste while fasting. If one uses it, one should rinse out one’s mouth properly.]

Amjad Rasheed

[Translated by Sr. Shazia Ahmad]

السؤال : هل استعمالُ معجون الأسنان مبطلٌ للصوم ؟ الجواب : استعمال معجون الأسنان لا يبطل الصومَ إلا إذا وصل منه شيءٌ إلى الجوف .
