Seeking Your Advice on Miswak Care

As-salamu alaykum! I’m not Muslim, but I’d love to get your opinions. How often do you trim the tip of your miswak to reveal a fresh layer? And how can I tell when it’s time to do that? Jazakum Allahu khairan!

Wa alaykum as-salam! I trim mine every 2-3 days when the bristles get soft and frayed. You'll know it's time when the taste fades and it doesn't feel as effective. Just cut off a tiny bit and soak the tip briefly.

I check by biting gently - if it's soft and not springy, time to trim. Probably every few uses. You're doing a sunnah already, masha'Allah!

Honestly, you'll see the bristles separate and look tired. I trim maybe twice a week. Keep a small knife with you, it's easy. May Allah accept your sincerity.
