The Ruling on Using the Miswak for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. You are asking another question, saying: Is it true that using the miswak during the day in Ramadan is disliked, based on a hadith of the Messenger?

Answer:
By Him in whose hand is my soul, the breath of the fasting person is more pleasing to Allah than the scent of musk. It is not true that the miswak for the fasting person is disliked; rather, it is a recommended practice (sunnah). This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged the use of the miswak and it is not authentically reported from him that he excluded the state of fasting. Rather, he encouraged the use of the miswak absolutely, for the fasting person and for others. This is the correct view, if Allah wills. Yes.
