٭And rinse it after each time.

 ٭Hold a Miswak in the right hand in such a manner that the little finger remains at the bottom, the middle three fingers remain on top of it while the thumb remains at the top (near the soft strands that are used to brush the teeth).

 ٭First brush (with a Miswak) the upper teeth of the right side and then the left. Thereafter, clean the lower teeth starting from the right side and then the left.

 ٭Using a Miswak whilst holding it in the fist poses the risk of piles.

 ٭Miswak is a Sunnah to be performed before Wudu, but if one has a foul smell in the mouth, then using Miswak becomes Sunnat-ul-Muakkadah.

(Derived from: Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 623)

٭ Do not throw away a used Miswak as it is an instrument used to act upon a Sunnah. Rather, keep it somewhere respectfully, bury it or put it into the sea after tying it to a stone or something heavy, etc.

For further details about the excellence and benefits of using Miswak, please study the booklet ‘Fazaail-e-Miswak’ written by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat.
