The Sunnah in the Use of the Miswak

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. He asks about the prescribed nature of using the miswak, especially since he read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah and with every ablution using the miswak, narrated by Ahmad with a sound chain, so says the author of the letter. He then asks about the prescribed nature of using the miswak, especially since he sees that some of the worshippers do not use the miswak except at the iqamah of the prayer, and then the imam may begin the al-Fatihah while he is still using the miswak. He hopes for guidance from your eminence. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The known wording of the hadith is , and in a narration it is with every prayer. The miswak is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), and it is emphasized during ablution, meaning before the ablution, before the gargling. It is also emphasized when entering the prayer, when reciting the Qur'an, when the smell of the mouth changes, when entering the mosque, and so on. And the more a person uses the miswak, the better it is, because it is a great act of worship, and it has many benefits to which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) alluded in his saying: "The miswak purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord, Mighty and Majestic." And the fact that some people leave off the miswak is considered negligence on their part and abandoning a confirmed sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
