IslamToday - English. Many people avoid brushing their teeth during the day in Ramadan. This is a mistake, since there is no contradiction between observing the fast and brushing one's teeth. We must understand that the word âsiwÃ¢kâ does not just refer to the tree branches that are used as tooth sticks, but to the act of brushing the teeth itself.
So the best ways to avoid this dilemma is to make sure you clean you teeth before the fast begins at Fajr. Also, one can use the Miswaak while fasting, this twig has antiseptic qualities that has been traditionally used for cleaning teeth since the Prophetâs (Pbuh) times.
