Ramadan 2027
Miswak for Ramadan
Using a miswak while fasting does not break the fast, as long as nothing is swallowed, and most scholars agree on this. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used a miswak while fasting. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around February 8, depending on the moon sighting.
Sealed miswak sticks for the month
Every stick is individually vacuum-sealed, so a pack stays fresh until you open it.
Using a miswak while fasting
- The miswak is allowed and a Sunnah while fasting. Amir ibn Rabi'ah said: "I saw the Prophet (PBUH) using a miswak while fasting more times than I can count." Reported by Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi, and cited by Bukhari in his Book of Fasting.
- The one rule is not to swallow anything. If a bristle breaks off while you chew, take the loose piece out.
- Use a miswak at any time of day. Most scholars allow it after midday too, though some Shafi'i scholars consider it disliked then.
- The miswak needs no toothpaste or water, which suits a fast and makes it easy to use before each prayer, at work or at the masjid.
