Question:
There is a similar question that reached us from one of the brothers. He says: I bought a misbaha, and on one of its beads some of the beautiful names of Allah are written. Is it permissible to use it for tasbih?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to use it because it involves disrespect to the names of Allah. It may be thrown away, or it may be subjected to disrespect, or people may seek blessing from it. One’s heart may become attached to it and seek blessing from it. All of these are concerns regarding this misbaha. So do not use it, do not sell it, and do not bring it into the market. Yes.
