Question
Assalamu Alaikum Sheik. A brother of mine is asking if someone can fast if they had a tooth extracted and are bleeding from the gums. Thank you
Answer
Wa'alaykumsalaam Wa Rahmatullah.
No it does not break the fast.
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.
