Commentary
By drinking milk, its grease and a kind of taste remains in the mouth, which may disperse the mind and attention of the person performing prayer. Therefore, rinsing the mouth after eating something which leaves a taste is desirable and a liked deed, according to the majority. Though some regard it necessary, and some others are not even in the favour of its desirability at all.
