Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it part of the Sunnah (recommended practice) for the one performing wudu (ablution) to use the miswak before starting the wudu, or after it and before rinsing the mouth?
Answer:
[Something] before Maghrib. Rinsing the mouth is the first part of the wudu, so he uses the miswak before rinsing the mouth so that the water follows the miswak, making the cleaning of the mouth more complete.
