Question: miswak at death bed?
Bismihi-ta-a-la

My respected scholars in Islam, as we have heared so often on the rewards on the use of miswak.

There are more than 100 rewards for the use of miswak and the least one is, the person leaves this material world with EMAN
how wonderful the reward for a simple action.

my question is simple. can we encourage the person in ill health and on death bed to use miswak to gain benefit & blessing of ALLAH [SWT] admittedly we should use miswak at all times but some important times we completely forget to take action ourself and ask others to practice upon it.

Yours sincerely

Brother Ahmed

please remember me in your humble dua's

maasalama

Yes, you may encourage the person in ill health and on death bed to use miswak to gain benefit & blessing of ALLAH [SWT] . however be carreful they are not experiencing the pangs of death, in that case just do talqeen of the kalimah.

Further this is a specific Sunnah. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) also used the
Miswaak prior to his demise.
