The Time of the Miswak and the Manner of Using It

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about the miswak, Honorable Shaykh, and whether it has a specific time limit? And what is the manner of using it?

Answer:
It has no specific time limit, and it is a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice) because of the purification of the mouth it provides, as in the hadith
The miswak purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord, Mighty and Majestic,السواك مطهرة للفم مرضاة للرب عز وجل،
Sahih Ibn Hibban 8:35
and many other hadiths. However, it becomes more emphasized in certain situations, such as for the one who wakes up from sleep at night, such as when the smell of his mouth changes, such as when he intends to perform wudu (ablution), when he intends to pray, when he intends to recite the Qur'an. These are the situations in which the miswak becomes more emphasized. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
