The ruling on the miswak (prayer beads) on which the names of Allah are written

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The beads of the miswak have the names of Allah the Most Beautiful written on them, and I use them to recite the tasbih with my congregation.

Answer:
This is prohibited. This miswak on which the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) are written is prohibited, because this is a desecration of the names of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and there is no evidence for this action. As for counting your tasbih with the beads of the miswak, with pebbles, or with your fingers, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
