Ruling on cleaning the teeth of the deceased with miswaak
Question: 43079
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
I do not know of any basis for doing that, rather the deceased should be washed with wudoo’ then ghusl. If the miswaak is used when rinsing out his mouth there is nothing wrong with that, as in the case of the living.
