I would say yes, as long as One doesnt swallow the toothpasty water x3

This is also correct in wudu, when washing the mouth, as long as one doesn't swallow the water, correct? I am hoping I follow this as well as I can. biggrin

I have been trying...it's hard since I haven't been officially trained...XD (no laughing!) joke xD

Yes, I've tried following the cleansing process and as much as I can to learn and understand..it really does make one think about stuff...

I'm probably doing it wrong though. -_-;

Actually that is what I was using for my base biggrin I just wasn't sure if I as doing it in the right way...maybe there is a way you wash, a way you stand, I hope that makes sense..However, to the best of my reading knowledge, that is what I was doing. biggrin

I'd say yes, as long as one doesn't swallow anything.

Its not THAT picky xd
You can sit or stand normally, no 'prostrating' (on hands and knees facing the floor) like in Salat (prayer).

Really? eek As far as I know, we're prohibited from inserting anything into our mouths, ears, and all that such during fasting, which starts from Fajr and ends at Maghrib. But, other than that period, we could absolutely brush our teeth.

I've heard people state that putting your finger in your ear breaks your fast... Seriously, Islam is not *that* strict ^^;

Quote:
Toothpaste is not intended for consumption. Fast is only broken when it goes directly into our system. To say that one cannot use toothpaste is nothing but rigidity. The Prophet (peace be upon him) warned us against rigidity: “Woe to those who practice rigidity; woe to those who practice rigidity; woe to those who practice rigidity.” (Reported by Muslim) Taken from here


And you can have something in your mouth, such as water, provided you don't swallow (or else you wouldn't be able to make wudu properly).

This is a good article to read as well. It mentions that eye and ear drops are fine to use as well, seeing as they do not reach the throat and the eyes, ears and head are not body parts that receive food.
It also mentions that injections that are non-nutritious are fine.

And Allah knows best (:

Usually, I brush my teeth after Suhur and before I go offer Fajr, that insures that my mouth is free of food and clean throughout the day.
