Using Miswak is Sunnah
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is pleased, it increases good deeds and improves the functioning of the stomach. (Jam’-ul-Jawami’ lis-Suyuti, vol. 5, pp. 249, Hadees 14867)
§ Miswak should be from olive or Neem or any such tree that has a bitter taste.
§ Thickness of the Miswak should be equal to the little finger.
§ The Miswak should not be longer than one’s hand span as Satan sits on it.
§ The strands of the Miswak should be soft; otherwise, they might cause gaps between the teeth and gums.
§ If a Miswak is fresh then it is excellent; otherwise soak it in a glass of water until it becomes soft.
§ Trim the strands of the Miswak every day as they are beneficial as long as they have some bitterness.
§ Brush your teeth horizontally with the Miswak.
§ Always brush your teeth with a Miswak at least three times.
§ And wash it each time.
§ Hold the Miswak in the right hand in such a manner that the little finger remains towards the lower part, and the middle three fingers remain on it while the thumb remains towards the top (near the soft strands that are used to brush the teeth).
§ Brush (with Miswak) the upper teeth of the right side first and then the left. Thereafter, clean the lower teeth again starting from the right and then the left.
§ To use Miswak when held in the fist can cause piles.
§ Miswak is a pre-Wudu Sunnah but if one has foul breath, using the Miswak becomes Sunnat-ul-Muakkadah. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 1, pp. 623)
§ Do not throw away a used Miswak or its strands as it is used to act upon a Sunnah. Rather, keep it somewhere respectfully, bury it or put it into the sea.
