The ruling on using the tasbih ring for counting

The questioner:
We return to our callers. My brother Fahd from al-Kharj, may Allah keep you safe. Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Yes, peace. How are you, Shaykh? If you please, I have a question. Yes, please, go ahead. I have three questions, if you please. Give them to me all at once. I have a tasbih ring; is it permissible to recite tasbih and seek Allah’s forgiveness daily without wudu? Good. And the second: I am twenty-five years old and I have not performed the obligatory Hajj or 'Umrah; is there a sin on me? Good, the second? Is it permissible for me to pray the witr prayer after the 'Isha' prayer, around nine at night, at home? Is it permissible? Nine. Good, thank you, Shaykh. Welcome. He is asking about the tasbih ring: if he uses it and recites tasbih without wudu?

The Shaykh:
The tasbih ring.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
What is a tasbih ring?

The questioner:
It is a ring with numbers, counting by number.

The Shaykh:
No, my brother, do not use it. Do not use the ring for counting the tasbih. Recite the tasbih without the ring. Use your fingers for counting.
