The Miswak for the Fasting Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I did not know that in the hadith it is stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to use the miswak frequently in Ramadan.

Answer:
Yes, he says: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) using the miswak while fasting, and there was no one better at using it than him. This is an authentic hadith. Therefore, the correct view is that the fasting person is like the one who is not fasting; it is recommended for him to use the miswak throughout the day, at the beginning and at the end. As for the hadith of 'Ali regarding the fasting person, that he uses the miswak in the morning and does not use it in the evening, this has not been established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
