Wudhu

Sunnah method of using a miswaak

Q: I would like to know the masnoon way of doing miswaak. Should it be right to left in one go which would be the "length" of the mouth and the "breadth" of the teeth or is it to be done in an up down motion on each tooth starting with the tooth on top on the right which would then be the "length" of the teeth and the "breadth" of the mouth?

Making wudhu with henna

Q: Nowadays when we apply henna,after washing for a day or two its normal but after few days it starts shedding off. If we try to scratch it then it pains and causes reddishness. In such a condition, if we do wudhu, will it be permissible?
