Yes, it is generally permissible to swallow the saliva after using a miswak, but you should spit out any pieces or actual "juice" from the miswak itself.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Saliva After Miswak Use: Swallowing your saliva after using a miswak is generally considered permissible. This is often compared to the permissibility of swallowing saliva after performing wudu (ablution), where you rinse your mouth.
-
Miswak Particles/Juice: If actual pieces of the miswak or noticeable "juice" come out of the miswak while brushing, it's recommended that you spit them out. Think of it like brushing your teeth with toothpaste - you spit out the toothpaste, not swallow it.
-
Analogy to Fasting: The provided reference compares this to a fasting person performing wudu. They are allowed to rinse their mouth, but they must spit out the water afterward and are permitted to swallow their saliva.
Therefore, while the saliva mixed with the miswak's essence is generally acceptable to swallow, actual miswak particles or "juice" should be spat out.
