Swallowing some of the pieces of the miswak while fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, Your Eminence the Shaykh, if a Muslim uses the miswak while fasting and swallows some of the small pieces, does that invalidate his fast?

Answer:
No, it does not, provided he did not do it intentionally. It is merely gathering saliva; it does not harm him, just like gathering saliva.
