The questioner : Is it disliked to use the miswak in gatherings of knowledge? Some students use the miswak in a gathering of knowledge?
The Shaykh : Yes, I say that in any case, it is disliked and detested, because it may produce a smell, and it also distracts others, except for a reason. For example, if sleep comes upon him and he uses the miswak to drive away the sleep, then there is no harm in that. Likewise, in the Friday sermon, one should not play with the miswak unless there is a need.
