Summary
Having a tooth extracted during the day does not invalidate the fast of a person who is fasting. This is the view of most scholars, including the Hanafi school and others. It is nevertheless preferable to have the extraction done at night unless there is a need.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mencabut gigi di siang hari bagi yang berpuasa tidaklah batal puasanya, seperti pendapat ramai ulama.
