# | # According to Sephardim, for all fasts besides Tisha BeAv and Yom Kippur, in a case of need one may rinse one’s mouth with less than a Reviyit of water as long as one is careful to spit it out completely. According to Ashkenazim, only if one is in pain may one rinse one’s mouth and in such a case one should bend one’s head downward so one doesn’t swallow any water. On Tisha BeAv one may rinse one’s mouth only if one is in great pain, and on Yom Kippur one must be strict. <Ref> | ||
* S”A 567:3 writes that it’s improper to rinse one’s mouth on a fast day. Magan Avraham 567:6 writes that this is only according to the Rama who says not to taste food on any fast day, however, according to S”A who allows tasting on fast days besides for Tisha BeAv and Yom Kippur it is only improper if one rinses one’s mouth with more than a Reviyit. However, Kaf HaChaim 567:13 quotes the Nahar Shalom, Bigdei Yesha, and Maamer Mordechai who differentiate between tasting and rinsing and so Kaf HaChaim concludes that one shouldn’t rinse even with less than a Reviyit. Yet, Chazon Ovadyah (Arba Taniyot pg 27-8) rules like the Magan Avraham that for Sephardim in a case of need one may rinse one’s mouth with less than a Reviyit of water. Even though regarding brushing one’s teeth (pg 28) he adds that one should bend over according to the stringency of the Chaye Adam, regarding rinsing with less than a Reviyit it seems that one doesn’t have to bend over and such is the language of the summary (pg 515). | |||
# One may swallow | * Chaye Adam 132:20 writes that if one is in great pain one may rinse one’s mouth even on Tish BeAv if one is careful to bend one’s head downward so that one doesn’t come to swallow anything but one may not do so on Yom Kippur. Kaf Hachaim 567:14 quotes this. Mishna Brurah 567:11 differentiates saying that all fasts days one may rinse one’s mouth if one is in pain and by Tisha BeAv one may rinse one’s mouth only if one is in great pain and on Yom Kippur one must be strict. Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 4:109(1) agrees with Mishna Brurah that for most fasts one may rinse if one is in pain and for Tisha BeAv one may only rinse if one is in great pain. </ref> | ||
# According to Sephardim, those who regularly brush their teeth with toothbrush and toothpaste may brush on a fast day with less than a Reviyit of water as long as they bend over while rinsing and spit it out afterwards. <Ref> | |||

* Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 534) writes that for all fast days besides Tisha BeAv one if it will be difficult for one not to brush one is allowed to brush one's teeth as long as one doesn't put a [[Reviyit]] of water in one's mouth at a time and ensures that one doesn't swallow any water. | |||
* Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 4:109(2) rules that someone who has bad breath on Tisha BeAv may brush his teeth without water in order to pray with a clean mouth. </ref> | |||
# One may swallow saliva that accumulates in one’s mouth. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 567:13 </ref> Some say that if it’s easy one should be strict and spit it out. <Ref> Chaye Adam 132:22, Mateh Efraim 612:7, Moadim UZmanim 1:59 </ref> While others say that the minhag is to be lenient altogether. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 567:2, Bet Meir, Ashel Avraham, Aruch HaShulchan 567:4 </ref> | |||
