Using the toothbrush and toothpaste by analogy with the miswak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, does using the toothbrush and toothpaste earn a person reward, such that it becomes a recommended practice (sunnah) by analogy with the miswak?
Answer:
There is no doubt that it accomplishes what the miswak accomplishes. If one uses the toothbrush and toothpaste, this accomplishes what the miswak accomplishes in cleaning the teeth and sweetening the breath, yes.
