What is the ruling on the prayer of tasbih?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on what is called the prayer of tasbih?
The Shaykh:
The meticulous scholars have denounced this, saying that it is not authentically established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Any act of worship that is not authentically established from the Messenger of Allah is considered a bid'ah, and the prayer of tasbih is among them.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is also contrary to the prayer in its form and in what is recited in it. It is contrary to the prayer, so it is denounced both in terms of its chain of narration and its text.
