Applying adhesive to one’s dentures during fasting
Question
My question pertains to the dentures which I have been given to wear. The dentist has provided me with denture adhesive, which I apply onto the denture before I apply the denture into my mouth. I do this once every morning. Will the application of this adhesive break my fast?
Answer
If any portion of the adhesive is not swallowed whilst fasting, the fast will remain intact. However, it will be better to apply the adhesive before Sehri ends so that the fast is not invalidated should any of the substance be swallowed.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
