Does using a miswak with flavors such as mint or lemon break one's fast?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Using a miswak is permissible for both a fasting and a non-fasting person at all times, whether it is fresh or dry. However, if any part of a fresh miswak reaches the throat of a fasting person, their fast is broken. There is no difference in using a miswak that has a lemon or mint flavor.
