Wudhu

Tear coming out due to pain

Q: In the English Behishti Zewar, it is written that "Similarly, if there is pain in the eyes and they are sore, and in addition to this they water or tears come out, then too wudhu will break (as in the case of pink eyes). But if there is no pain in the eyes nor are they sore, then wudhu will not break by the mere flowing of tears." Does this mean that the wudhu breaks when we slice onions?

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?
