The Ruling on the Prayer of Tasbih

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is your opinion on the prayer of tasbih?

Answer:
There is a hadith regarding the prayer of tasbih in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) — the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) — the scholars have discussed it, with some authenticating it or grading it as hasan, and others weakening it or ruling it to be fabricated.
The correct view is that the hadith regarding the prayer of tasbih is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) due to the extensive criticism of its weakness, and also because of the strangeness in the description of the prayer mentioned in it, which contradicts the known and prescribed prayers. Based on this, the prayer of tasbih is not prescribed, and it is not permissible to perform it, because no evidence has been established for it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Acts of worship are based on specific texts, and it is not permissible to do anything in them except what is established by evidence in the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

May Allah reward you with good.
