Rinsing the Mouth on a Fast Day

Question

Is it permissible to rinse the mouth on the Tenth of Tevet?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

According to the law, one should not rinse the mouth on a fast day. However, if someone suffers greatly without rinsing, it is permitted, but one must be very careful not to swallow any of the water.
