725. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Āmir bin Rabī‘ah narrated from his father who said: “I saw the Prophet ﷺ – (a number of times) such that I was not able to count – using the Siwāk while he was fasting.” (Da‘if)
He said: There is something on this topic from ‘Āishah.
Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of ‘Āmir bin Rabī‘ah is a Ḥasan Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They did not see any harm in the Siwāk for the fasting person, except that some of the people of knowledge considered it disliked for the fasting person to use fresh wood, and they considered it disliked to use the Siwāk at the end of the day. Ash-Shāfi‘ī did not see any harm in using the Siwāk in the beginning or the end of the day. Aḥmad and Ishāq disliked using the Siwāk at the end of the day.

Commentary
Imām Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Al-Awzā‘ī and Abū Ḥanīfah are of the view that a fasting person may use any type of Siwāk / tooth-stick / toothbrush during any part of the day. ‘Alī, Ibn ‘Umar, ‘Urwah and Mujāhid also hold the same opinion and this is the correct one.
