The Ruling on Using the Miswak for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to use the miswak for the fasting person? May Allah reward you. Or what is the stronger position in this regard? He asked about the miswak during fasting. May Allah preserve you.

Answer:
There is no harm in using the miswak for the fasting person or for anyone else; because it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah), and no evidence has been established prohibiting the fasting person from using it. So the default is that the miswak is an absolute recommended practice (sunnah) at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day for the fasting person. Yes.
