Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the statement that using the miswak in the mosque is disliked because it falls under the category of removing a nuisance correct?

Answer:
No one among the scholars of knowledge has said that a person uses the miswak when praying while in the mosque, and no one has said that using the miswak in the mosque is disliked. Rather, this is a recommended practice (sunnah); this is manifesting a recommended practice (sunnah). Yes.
