Q 3: I hear people saying that using the miswak inside the mosque is not permissible. Is this correct?
A 3: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. And after: Using the miswak is a recommended practice (sunnah), and it becomes more emphasized whenever there is a need for it, such as for ablution, prayer, reciting the Qur'an, when the mouth changes, or similar situations.

And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
