The Ruling on Using the Miswak While Fasting

Shaykh Muhammad al-Wasabi clarifies that using the miswak does not invalidate the fast, as long as nothing from it is swallowed.

Questioner:

Does using the toothstick [miswāk] break the fast?

Shaykh Muḥammad al-Waṣābī:

No it doesn’t break the fast. There is no problem with using it and pieces of the tooth stick should not be swallowed.
