As salamo alikum mufti sahab. My question is Is it permited or prohibited to use tongue cleaner in ISLAM? plz give me answer with reference to quran and hadith.
Answer
(Fatwa: 640/640=M-1429
It is lawful to use tongue cleaner but it is better to use miswak, for miswak cleans teeth as well as mouth and removes bad smell. It is also the Sunnah of the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) and a source of seeking Allah’s pleasure. Besides these, miswak has enough advantages.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
