Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on what is called the misbaha (prayer beads) and using them for tasbih (glorification)?
Answer:
If he believes there is virtue in them, it is not permissible. But if he uses them to count the tasbih, like counting with pebbles, there is no objection. It is permissible to use pebbles or the beads of the misbaha for counting only, not because it is a virtue or because there is reward in it. Yes.
