Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Your Eminence the Shaykh. Some toothpastes have appeared that contain miswak extract. Do they suffice, and what is your opinion of them?
Answer:
They may cause some staining, these toothpastes, but using the miswak is better. Toothpastes may cause staining in the mouth, and they may harm a person by going down his throat and hurting him. But the miswak has no harm in it; it achieves the desired result without any harm.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
