The ruling on a misbaha (prayer beads) inscribed with the names of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I am a Sudanese resident in Jeddah. I have a misbaha (prayer beads) on which the names of Allah are written, and I use this misbaha to recite dhikr (remembrance of Allah) during prayer and in the mosque.
Answer:
Taking this misbaha and believing in it, and believing that it has virtue, is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is a bid'ah. And writing the names of Allah on its beads is a mistake. It is not permissible to write the names of Allah on anything that is exposed to desecration, or on which it is believed that there is virtue, or on other beliefs that have no basis in the Book and the Sunnah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
