FIQH 3.133: USING THE TOOTH STICK [BRUSH] WHILE FASTING
It is preferred for the fasting person to use a toothpick or a brush. There is no difference if he uses it at the beginning or the ending of the day. At-Tirmizhi affirms that: “Ash-Shafi’i did not see anything wrong with using a toothpick [brush] during the beginning or the ending of the day.” The Prophet would use his tooth stick [brush] while fasting.
Fiqh 3.133 a: Fasting, being generous and studying the Qur’an
Being generous and studying the Qur’an is recommended during any time, but it is especially stressed during the month of Ramadan. Al-Bukhari recorded that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Prophet was the most generous of people, but he would be his most generous during Ramadan when he would meet with [the angel] Gabriel. He would meet with him every night and recite the Qur’an. When Gabriel met him, he used to be more generous than a fast wind.”
Fiqh 3.133 b: Fasting, striving to perform as many acts of worship as possible during the last ten days of Ramadan
Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from ‘Aishah that during the last ten days of Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is, being busy in acts of worship). A version in Muslim states: “He would strive [to do acts of worship] during the last ten days of Ramadan more than he would at any other time.” At-Tirmizhi also recorded this from ‘Ali.
Fiqh 3.133 c: Fasting, Acts That are Permissible During the Fast
The following acts are permissible for the fasting person:
1. Pouring water over one’s self and submerging oneself in water: Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abdurrahman reported from a number of companions that they had seen Allah’s Messenger pour water over his head while he was fasting due to thirst or extreme heat. This is related by Ahmad, Malik, and Abu Dawud with a sahih chain.
In the two Sahih of al-Bukhari and Muslim, it is related from ‘Aishah that the Prophet would rise in the morning on a fasting day and then would perform ghusl (a complete bath). If during the bath some water is swallowed unintentionally, the fast is still valid.
