I was told if we use toothpaste, it means we do not have firm belief that the miswak also does the job, so I stopped using toothpaste, but I dont think I was using the miswak properly, and I felt my teeth were getting stained, so Ive started using both toothpaste and miswak. I would like to know what is more closer to taqwa. If we use toothpaste, are we defeating the purpose of the miswak?
It is not prohibited to use the toothbrush, toothpaste as well as the
Miswaak.
