Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in the state of Ihram; if he can brush his teeth. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is of the Sunnah.’ It is also narrated that one must not make his teeth bleed.” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (7/331))
