The ruling on using the siwak for the fasting person during the day of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Does the siwak, whether it is flavored with mint or otherwise, invalidate the fast during the day of Ramadan?

Answer:
No, it does not, if Allah wills. I say it is not recommended. Using the siwak is prescribed at all times, according to the correct view, in Ramadan and otherwise. However, one should not use a siwak that contains mint; avoid it. Use an ordinary siwak that has no scent, whether from mint or anything else. Use an ordinary siwak to clean your teeth and follow the Sunnah. Yes.
