Mango string getting stuck between one's teeth

· 19 Rabiʻ II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If a mango string is stuck in my teeth, I did my best to clean my teeth before making ghusl mindful that all mango strings are taken out, after ghusl I read salaah and quraan. The next morning I ate thereafter I cleaned my teeth again and I found a small single mango string from my teeth. Is the ghusl, salaah and reading of quraan valid? The mango string is as thin as hair.

Answer

The ghusal is valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
