Answer
The Sunnah is to use the actual Miswaak stick itself. Using extracts of Miswaak in toothpaste does not substitute the Sunnah use of the Miswaak stick. It is also not prohibited to use the extracts of Miswaak in toothpastes.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
