Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 640/640=M-1429

It is lawful to use tongue cleaner but it is better to use miswak, for miswak cleans teeth as well as mouth and removes bad smell. It is also the Sunnah of the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) and a source of seeking Allah's pleasure. Besides these, miswak has enough advantages.
