The Permissibility of Reciting Dhikr with a Misbaha and the Superiority of Using the Fingers

Question:
One of the sisters sent a question, saying: She would like to ask, and she says: What is the ruling on reciting dhikr with a misbaha? Especially since it helps with the remembrance of Allah, if Allah wills, particularly in the counted dhikr, such as saying "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to Allah and His praise) and "Subhan Allah al-Azim" (Glory be to Allah the Magnificent).

Answer:
There is no harm in using a misbaha to keep count of the tasbih and dhikr, but using the fingers is better. Using the fingers is better than using a misbaha, because the fingers are limbs and supplicants, and using them in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted is using them in worship. However, if one believes that there is a special merit in the misbaha itself, that is not permissible; because there is no virtue in the misbaha. It is only permissible to use it for counting the dhikr and tasbih. Counting the dhikr and tasbih falls under the category of permissibility, and there is no special merit in it. Yes.
