Tasbih with the Fingers of the Hands
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is tasbih with the fingers of the hands a bid'ah (religious innovation), as some scholars say?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with tasbih with the fingers of the right and left hands, and there is no objection to it. However, some scholars say that tasbih with the right hand is better. That is their opinion, but there is no objection to tasbih with the fingers of both your right and left hands. There is no evidence prohibiting that. It is merely a matter of preference, or rather, a preference for tasbih with the right hand only. One should not restrict people or prevent them from doing something for which there is no evidence.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
