Is it recommended to use the miswak when reciting the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah include us with them in this. When reciting the Qur'an, it is obligatory to use the miswak when reciting the Qur'an.

Answer : Yes, it becomes emphasized, meaning it is highly recommended. He said: Because the Qur'an is the highest form of speech, and you should purify your mouth when reciting it, so that it comes from a pleasant mouth. The angels used to receive the recitation from the human mouth, so it should be received from a pleasant mouth as well. However, this is not clear. This is not [obligatory] because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the Qur'an, and Jibril would convey the Qur'an to him, and it is not reported that he used the miswak when reciting. So, if nothing is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) despite the reason for it being apparent during his lifetime, this indicates that it is not prescribed.
