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?
Answer:
It is not prohibited to use the toothbrush, toothpaste as well as the
Miswaak.
