There is no need to do that if you spit out all the water. Even though a tiny bit of water remains in your mouth for a while, spitting may cause dryness in the mouth and make you more thirsty.
Using toothpaste will not break your fast, but it is better to use flavorless toothpaste.
You must make up your missed fasts before the upcoming Ramadan. If you are unable to do so, then you just make up those fasts after Ramadan is over, and try not to delay again so this doesn’t happen again the following Ramadan.
You stay in the prayer area of a mosque and do not leave unless there is some need.
It is recommended to fast six days of Shawwāl, to fast three days (preferably the 13th, 14th, and 15th) of any given month (of the lunar calendar), to fast every Monday or Thursday (or both), to fast on the 10th of Muḥarram (known as the day of ʿĀshūrā’), and to fast on the first nine days of Dhul Ḥijjah (with the 9th being more emphasized). Do not fast on the day of Eid al-Fiṭr, Eid al-Aḍḥā, and on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Ḥijjah. Also, do not fast every day with the intention to continue throughout your life or to fast for two days straight without breaking the fast in between.
