Question:
What is your opinion on the prayer of tasbih? A hadith regarding the prayer of tasbih was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer:
The scholars have discussed it, with some authenticating it or grading it as good, and others weakening it or ruling it to be fabricated. The correct view is that the hadith regarding the prayer of tasbih is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) due to the extensive criticism of its weakness and the strangeness of the description of the prayer mentioned in it, which contradicts the known and prescribed prayers. Based on this, the prayer of tasbih is not prescribed, and it is not permissible to perform it, because no evidence has been established for it; there was no evidence from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it. So be reassured by this, for acts of worship are based on divine legislation, and it is not permissible to perform from them except what is established by evidence from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah reward you with good.
