His Eminence called all Muslims to act upon the straight path shown by the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny), with beautiful ethics, taking the Prophet as an example in how he was able to establish his personality amongst the polytheists, with his beautiful etiquettes and ethics.

Day Questions

Is it permissible to brush one’s teeth using toothpaste, and rinse one’s mouth with mouthwash, whilst fasting? Also, if one’s teeth bleed due to brushing, does this invalidate the fast?

It is permissible to do so but we warn from swallowing, as this breaks the fast even if the amount was little. It does not invalidate the fast if the teeth bleed while brushing.

What does one do if one cannot get married at this time, and the only way to marry here is to approach somebody for temporary marriage through prohibited ways, like going to places of promiscuity?

Temporary marriage is a legitimate way to refrain from doing adultery, but it is impermissible to use such non-religious ways to reach it. One who does not have the means to achieve it by a legitimate way, should have patience and dependence on Almighty Allah, as He said: “And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him” (65:3).
