Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a fasting person to use a miswak that contains some chemical substances and some fragrant scents? If it is in its natural state and has its original scent, there is no objection.

Answer:
As for a miswak that has been soaked in perfume or other substances, the fasting person should avoid it, because this is not the natural state of the miswak; something has been done to it. The fasting person should leave it and use an ordinary miswak from its tree, in its original form, with no alterations.
