The Ruling on the Miswak and Toothbrush for the Fasting Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, what is the ruling on using the miswak for the fasting person? And does a toothbrush take the place of the miswak?
The Shaykh:
The correct view is that there is no harm in using the miswak for the fasting person throughout the day. Although some scholars say that one should not use the miswak after the midday prayer, the correct view is that he may use it until night. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks: Does a toothbrush take the place of the miswak?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because it cleans the teeth.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
