Washing one's miswaak after gums bleeding

· 8 Jumada I 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have sensitive gums that bleed quite frequently and I have recently started using a miswak. If my gums bleed when I brush, how do I clean the miswak of blood? Is it enough to let water run over it?

Answer

Just wash it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
