Using Toothpaste In The State Of Ihraam
Question
Can a person use toothpaste in the state of Ihraam?
Answer
If one has utilized so much of scented toothpaste that most of the mouth is filled with scent then a Dam will be compulsory. If one has used very little toothpaste which has not affected the major portion of the mouth then one should give Sadaqah. One should abstain from using scented toothpaste whilst in Ihraam.
