Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When a fasting person uses a miswak on one of the days of fasting, he tastes some of it in his mouth, and it becomes difficult for him to expel this taste, either because of its quantity or because it is in the mouth. What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
The siwak does no harm. It is prescribed for the fasting person, just as it is for the non-fasting person. And what he feels of the taste does no harm; this is something that is with him and is not a problem. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
