Q & A

What is the significance of Siwak in Islamic practice according to the script?

Siwak is considered highly recommended (Sunnah) in every situation, except after the Zawal (the decline of the sun). The practice of Siwak is believed to purify the mouth and is associated with following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

What does Imam Taqiuddin Abu Bakar al-Hisni say about the use of Siwak after Zawal?

Imam Taqiuddin Abu Bakar al-Hisni states that Siwak is Sunnah except after Zawal, particularly for those who are fasting. After Zawal, it may become disliked (Makruh) due to concerns of potentially invalidating the fast.

Why do some scholars consider the use of Siwak after Zawal to be Makruh?

Some scholars consider it Makruh after Zawal because it may lead to the entry of water, toothpaste, or small particles into the throat, potentially invalidating the fast. This is viewed as a precautionary measure to safeguard the purity of the fast.

What is the relationship between the scent of the mouth during fasting and Siwak?

The script highlights that the scent of a fasting person's mouth is considered more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk. However, the smell of the mouth is also seen as a form of worship (abduliyah), and it should not be deliberately used to show off, as this would contradict the intended humility of fasting.

What does the Hadith regarding the smell of the fasting person's mouth indicate?

The Hadith suggests that the scent of a fasting person's mouth is cherished by Allah and is considered better than the fragrance of musk. This emphasizes the spiritual significance of fasting, and the intention behind fasting should be pure and sincere.

How do scholars view the practice of Siwak during fasting, according to the script?

Scholars have differing views on the practice of Siwak during fasting. Some scholars, like Imam Nawawi, suggest that Siwak should be avoided after Zawal to prevent the possibility of invalidating the fast. Others, such as in the book 'Al-Majmu,' state that Siwak is permissible throughout the day, even during fasting, as long as it does not lead to the consumption of anything that could break the fast.

What role does the book 'Kifayatul Akhyar' play in this discussion?

The book 'Kifayatul Akhyar,' written by Syekh Imam Taqiuddin Abu Bakar al-Hisni, is referenced in the script as a primary source of Islamic jurisprudence on the subject of Siwak. It supports the view that Siwak is generally recommended but can become Makruh after Zawal during fasting to avoid invalidating the fast.

Why is the use of Siwak considered important for social interactions during fasting?

The use of Siwak is encouraged for social interactions because it ensures that the breath of a fasting person is fresh and pleasant. This follows the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), especially when praying in congregation, to avoid discomfort to others caused by bad breath.

What does the script suggest about the potential negative impact of using Siwak for showing off?

The script cautions that using Siwak to intentionally display one's fasting status to others is considered 'Riya' (showing off), which is prohibited in Islam. The intention behind actions like using Siwak should be to follow the Sunnah and gain closeness to Allah, not to gain recognition from others.

What is the central takeaway from the script regarding the practice of Siwak during fasting?

The central takeaway is that while Siwak is highly recommended throughout the day, it is generally considered Makruh after Zawal during fasting to prevent any risk of invalidating the fast. However, its use remains permissible as long as the intention is sincere, and precautions are taken to ensure the fast remains intact.
