The Ruling on the Tasbih Ring
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This person asks: What is the ruling on what is called the tasbih ring, since it helps me keep count of the number and aids in the remembrance of Allah?
Answer:
It is not permissible to adopt this. It is not permissible to use the ring for the purpose of keeping count. You count on your fingers; that is the sunnah (recommended practice), not with the beads of a misbaha (prayer beads). I think these questions have come up before and we have answered them. But I am repeating it. Yes.
