Wa’alaikumussalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh

Prohibiting – especially in worldly matters – requires strong and clear arguments. If there is no justification, then returning to the original law is permissible.

The basic principle is that everything is permissible until there is evidence to show that it is haram

The original law is that everything is permissible until there is an argument that prohibits it

Including the problem of cleaning teeth with a toothpick. But this must meet the following conditions:

– The toothpick must be pure
– Doing so does not cause injury or harm

According to the rules:

No harm, no foul

Don’t endanger yourself and others

Wallahu A’lam
