1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘Ala’ who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about a man who brushes his teeth when fasting. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can brush his teeth any time during the day.’”
