After Wudu Can We Eat: It’s not obligatory to wash the mouth after eating or drinking, whether one desires to hope or read Qur’aan. But it’s mustahabb for him to do that, particularly if what he consumed or consumed went to all oily, because of the record told by Muslim (358) from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be delighted with him) inning accordance with which the Prophet (true blessings and tranquility of Allah be after him) consumed some milk, after that he required sprinkle and washed out his mouth and said: “It’s rather oily.”
After Wudu Can We Eat: Al-Nawawi (may Allah have grace on him) said: This suggests that it’s mustahabb to wash out the mouth after drinking milk. The scholars said: This also puts on various other kinds of food and drink; it’s mustahabb to wash the mouth lest any traces of it be left that may be swallowed whilst hoping. Finish quote from Sharh Muslim by al-Nawawi.
After Wudu Can We Eat: It says in al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (38/108): Washing the mouth is mustahabb after one finishes eating, because of the record told by Suwayd ibn al-Nu‘maan (may Allah be delighted with him) inning accordance with which he headed out with the Prophet (true blessings and tranquility of Allah be after him) in the year of Khaybar. When they reached al-Sahba’ – which is the furthest component of Khaybar – he prayed ‘Asr after that he required food, but absolutely nothing was brought to him other than saweeq (powdered roasted wheat or barley). He ordered that it be wetted with sprinkle because it was dry, and the Messenger of Allah (true blessings and tranquility of Allah be after him) consumed and we consumed, after that he obtained up to hope Maghrib; he washed his mouth and we washed our mouths, after that he prayed and he didn’t do wudoo’.
This hadeeth suggests that it’s mustahabb to wash your mouth after eating. The benefit of washing the mouth before beginning to hope after eating saweeq, although it’s not oily, is it may leave little bits in between the teeth or at the edges of the mouth, and attempting to obtain eliminate them may sidetrack an individual when he is hoping.
