f:717 -    When to use Miswak
 Country : Bijapur, India,
Name : Muhammad Abdullah
Question:     For bad breath, a dentist gave some liquid, some tablets and asked brush multiple times during the day.  A friend of mine asked me to start acting upon the Sunnah of Miswak.  I want to know about it.  Please help.
............................................................................
Answer:     In Islam, cleanliness is very important.  By following the teachings of Islam, outward and inward blessings are attained.  However, the ultimate aim of a Muslim should be the reward of the hereafter.  As far as Miswak is concerned, the scholars have said that it is a Compulsory Sunnah (Sunnah Moukkada) to use Miswak at the time of every Wudhu.  Apart from this, using Miswak whenever there is bad breath, on awakening from sleep, on entering the house, before meeting people and before recitation of the Holy Quran is Commendable (Mustahab) and better.

Imam Azam (May Allah be well pleased with him) has said that using Miswak is among the Sunnah of the religion.  Thus, Miswak can be used on all occasions and in all conditions.  As given in Radd Ul Muhtaar, Kitab Ut Taharah.

And Allah knows best.
