The Ruling on Tasbih with a Misbaha

Question:
What is the ruling on using prayer beads for tasbih (glorifying Allah) and istighfar (seeking forgiveness), knowing that they are very helpful?

Answer:
There is no need for them; the fingers are better. Glorify Allah with your fingers, counting the tasbih with the knots of your fingers; this is better. Or use pebbles that you carry with you to count the tasbih, as Juwayriyah bint al-Harith, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), did. Use pebbles or your fingers. As for the prayer beads, they have now become the symbol of the Sufis, who believe in their virtue and believe that they are prescribed. So do not imitate them. Do not imitate them, and you have no need for them. Yes.
