Fasting
Asked on 26th April 2020
Question
Assalaamu alaikum Sheikh. I have a brother who is asking if someone can fast if they had a tooth extracted but are bleeding from the gum. Thank you
Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa Rahmatullah.
No it does not break the fast, even gums bleeding does not break the fast. Just make sure to avoid swallowing it.
Q. What is the ruling on a fasting person removing a molar tooth, does it break his fast?
A. The blood which comes out due to a molar tooth or the like being removed does not break the fast, because it does not have the same effect as cupping, therefore it does not cause one to break one’s fast.
