The Ruling on Tasbih with a Misbaha
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. I am asking about the ruling on using a misbaha (prayer beads) for dhikr (remembrance of Allah), whether in my commercial establishment or in the mosque?
Answer:
If the intention is merely to count the number of dhikr, and not to believe that the misbaha has any virtue or that using it for dhikr is prescribed, then there is no harm in using it, whether one counts with his fingers, with pebbles, or with the beads of the misbaha. Yes.
