Can we brush teeth with toothpaste during fasting?

Question:
Can we brush teeth with toothpaste during fasting?

Response:
The prophet, alaihissalaam, used to do miswak during fasting. Doing toothbrush during fasting cannot therefore be considered disallowed. However, since toothpaste has its own taste and it can roll down your throat while you are brushing your teeth, it is better to avoid it. If you decide do it, be careful.
