The Ruling on Tasbih with a Misbaha and the Tasbih Ring
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about tasbih with a misbaha and the tasbih ring; is the intention to count the number of tasbihs?
Answer:
Tasbih with a misbaha is permissible if the intention is to count the number of tasbihs, just as one may count with the fingers or with pebbles. If this is the intention and one does not believe that the misbaha has any special virtue, then there is no harm in it. As for the ring that they say counts the number of tasbihs, it is not permissible to use it, because it is an innovation. A fatwa has been issued by the Permanent Committee prohibiting its use. Yes.
