Using toothpaste during Hajj

18/10/2009| IslamWeb

Question: I am intending to do Hajj this year.  I have a doubt as to whether toothpastes can be used as they have fragrance. Please clarify.

 

Fatwa: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

There is no harm for a person in a state of Ihraam to use tooth paste even if it contains a fragrance because in reality it is not perfume and it is not classified among perfumes.

Allah Knows best.
