Rinsing the mouth after is not obligatory, and there is no sin upon one who sleeps with the taste of juice or food remnants in their mouth. It is preferable to remove food remnants from the mouth with a siwak or similar, fearing the swallowing of something that would invalidate the fast. For whoever intentionally swallows food remnants after having begun fasting, they have broken their fast according to the Shafi’is, Malik, Ahmad, and Abu Yusuf.
