Haitham al-Haddad – Miswak during Fasting Hours – Ramadan Q and A

			One person is asking if it's okay to use miswak during the day especially if you're working with
people is there a sister who's a midwife and she's in close proximity I would definitely say that
there is no problem with that okay using brush whatever with yeah I mentioned that the profit amount
of money I said or one of the companions said I have seen the Prophet sallallahu Sallam using miswak
a number of times when he was okay trusting some scholars said that it is not it is disliked to use
it after noon time, but there is no authentic proof for that especially even if we say that okay,
this opinion is that if you are working okay with people and they are going to maybe detect your
		

			breath Yeah, then definitely brothers and sisters and and sometimes I myself become annoyed when I
sit next to someone who has not cleaned his mouth yeah. And if he tends to be Muslim and just
because he's fasting then Brothers Sisters, we need to you know, look at the hygiene of our you
know, mouths during the month of Ramadan. And as we are talking about this, see, normally as the
dentist I'm not the dentist okay, but I have had so many problems in my teeth so I had some
experience okay, but normally dentists say that if you have this bad breath, you have either gum
disease or other problems. Yeah. So before the beginning of Ramadan No, I don't know when you can do
		

			it because Ramadan is either Sunday or Monday.
		

			Tried to do it okay trying to do it to fix your gum problems. And as I am saying this, the person or
the people who clean their mouths regularly during before the month of Ramadan during the entire
year, year is very likely to have that very bad breath. Okay, during the month of Ramadan, if they
have it, it will be mild and it will be controlled. Circular hashing, we have a dentist who wrote an
article in central and SQL it's one of the most popular articles this time is how to beat bad breath
during normal Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a good article on Shabbat. However, some people
commented saying that isn't the breath of someone fasting beloved to Allah the smell of that breath.
		

			So why would you want to get rid of that? Because it is beloved to Allah not to human beings. But if
you're if you're getting rid of that smell, somebody might say and we don't you know that smell is
		

			is it the physical smell that we see that and we see that it is
		

			not pleasant? Is that the smell? What is meant in this hadith? Yeah, or not? Okay. Because you know,
in the eyes of Allah, Allah Allah Allah things are different. Yeah, so we don't know. Yeah, we you
know, in general, that the prophets Allah Allah, Allah is and as news to observe a lot of see work.
Yeah, and generally speaking, if you read the Hadith that talks about how frequent the Prophet SAW
Selim used to clean his mouth, yeah, when he enters his house he is you used to clean his mouth
before. Before going to bed he used to clean his mouth whenever he walks up. Even in the middle of
the night he used to clean his mouth. He said Gibreel commanded me to clean my mouth, okay, to brush
		

			my teeth. Had he to another I was afraid that my teeth will fall down because you know, of the
cleanliness that I was commanded to, to do. Again, using brush. Okay, toothbrush, use it, there is
no problem. I strongly advise that you avoid using toothpaste. Yeah, during the month of Ramadan.
Why? Because it's very likely that you will have some of the toothpaste in your saliva you might
want it is very likely that you will swallow it or you will keep spitting, which is not a decent
thing to do, yet. Okay, so avoid that. Yeah, with tooth paste. Now some people say we can't No you
can. Yeah, you can. It's a matter of habit. Yeah, clean you're
		

			in fact some people I don't know where I don't want to get into that is conspiracy or not that using
toothpaste UK is good for cleaning your teeth or not. Some people say no, don't use toothpaste. Or
some people say that use them occasionally. Don't use them frequently. Use sometimes use your tool.
The reason why it would be if it were to go in you get swallowed. Yes. Yes, yeah.
