Question

Can I use a miswaak while fasting?

Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

It is sunnah to make miswak while fasting. However, it is makrooh (disliked) to use flavored miswak that has artificial taste added to it.

(Aap Kay Masail, Vol.10, Pg.36, Maktabah Ludhyanwi)

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
