Rinsing the mouth with water after fatty drinks (and foods) means you are reviving a sunnah!
Water and siwaak: why?
Al-‘Utahymeen said: The reason why the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, rinsed his mouth was because of the fat. It can be understood from this action that it’s legislated to rinse the mouth from all foods which contain fat, regardless whether drank or chewed. It is good manners to rinse the mouth afterwards to remove the fat. If the substance is heavy in fat, then it’s better to use siwaak. For this reason the scholars say: it is sunnah to use the siwak to remove any fat after eating if the smell of the mouth changed. [Sharh Saheeh Al-Bukharee]
Remind yourself and others, in shaa’Allah!
And remember: Whoever revives an aspect of my sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward. [At-Tirmidhee]

1. What about food that does not contain any fat?
2. Nowadays dairy milk contains almost no fat. Can it be called milk, in real terms? Moreover, a mixture of soya bean oil, milk powder, and water is more often than not one of its ingredients, beside other chemicals and preservatives.
3. First of all, is it sunna to drink it?
there is a hadith about asking questions that will make difficulties for us if the answer is given. May Allah reward these people for giving us articles to read and to review Sunnah. Accept the advice or don’t say a thing please all of you.
Sister Wanda, As Salam, Please change the photo of drinking milk with left hand to right hand. The prophet s.a.w. said that the Syateen eat and drink with left hand. We follow the Sunnah by using the Right hand. I knew this hadith at the age of 32 and immediately changed my habit using left hand to drink but use right hand to eat..Wassallam.
Drinking fresh milk leaves a fatty deposit layer in the mouth, and so the Prophet may have washed it out to relieve his natural discomfort of it.
