"Can I Perform Dental Care While Fasting?"

Dream - Have Dream's friends ever heard the saying 'Cleanliness is Part of Faith'? Cleanliness is one of the obligatory things that need to be maintained, especially for Muslims in the month of Ramadan who want to increase their worship. One thing that is equally important is maintaining oral hygiene while fasting in the month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, many people underestimate the importance of dental and oral health. In fact, it has a significant influence on overall body health.

Can You Take Care of Your Teeth While Fasting?

Many people are still afraid to undergo dental treatment during the month of Ramadan. The general public often wonders about the legal implications of undergoing dental treatment during this holy month.

"They are afraid that going to the dentist for a dental check-up or even brushing their teeth while fasting can invalidate their fast. Ustadz Zulkarnain Muhammad Ali, SE., MSi., Ph.D, a certified National Preacher by MUI & Kemenag RI, stated that taking care of teeth in Islamic law is the same as taking care of other body parts, such as hair and nails."

He said, whether in the month of Ramadan or not, it is mandatory to be treated because it is one form of gratitude to Allah who has given complete and perfect body parts.

"Actually, dental care, in Islamic law, is similar to taking care of other body parts, just like when we take care of our hair and skin. Whether it is during the month of Ramadan or not, we should still take care of it."

"In the Quran, Surah At-Tin verse 4 states, 'Verily, We have created man in the best form.' In the hadith, it is also mentioned many times to take care of our health, not to wait until we are sick to seek treatment. Taking care of our teeth is one of the obligations. It is mandatory for us to take care of our body parts."

continue it.

Indeed, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has bestowed so many blessings upon humanity. It is our responsibility to take care of Allah's gifts, including our teeth, which are important to always keep clean.

As exemplified by Prophet Muhammad Shalallahu Alaihi Wassalam who always used a tooth stick (siwak) every time he performed ablution, even while fasting. In addition, a Muslim is obligated to prioritize their own well-being, including dental health. It is narrated by Imam Maliki that fasting is disliked for a person with a legitimate excuse to immediately treat a toothache in order to avoid other harm such as the emergence of new diseases, worsening of the current disease, or experiencing extraordinary pain.

Do not let fasting hinder you from taking care of your dental health. Instead, be enthusiastic in ensuring that your teeth and mouth stay healthy so that you can maximize your focus when performing all the religious deeds of Ramadan, which only happens once a year, and we can also comfortably gather with family and relatives.
