Is it permissible to swim while fasting, and does it break the fast?
It is permissible to swim while fasting, and it does not invalidate the fast. It better to refrain from submerging one’s body in water while fasting.
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.
If a person is required to have a blood test, and thus extract blood from the body, does this invalidate the fast?
No, it does not invalidate the fast.
