What is the ruling on the validity of the Prayer of Tasbih?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the validity of the Prayer of Tasbih?

Answer:
It has no basis. The Prayer of Tasbih has no basis, because the hadith reported regarding it is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), neither in terms of the chain of narration nor in terms of the text. The text contains an anomaly, because it describes a prayer that has no counterpart in the prescribed prayers. Therefore, it is denounced in terms of the chain, the text, and the manner of performance. It is not permissible for a Muslim to worship with it, as there are many prescribed acts of worship, and praise be to Allah. You have the Duha prayer, you have the night prayer, you have the Witr prayer, you have the regular voluntary prayers attached to the obligatory ones, and you have the absolute voluntary prayers. Voluntary prayers are numerous and prescribed, so you do not need an innovated prayer.
