A Miswaak should not be longer than a "span" i.e. the maximum distance between the tips of the thumb and little finger, and it should not be thicker than a finger's breadth.
How should it be used? A Miswaak should be held in such a manner that the small finger and thumb is below the miswaak and the remaining fingers on its upper side. So, dear friends, do you see how easy it is to gain the pleasure of Allah SWT and also stay in good health?!
