Tasbih with the Fingers of the Hands
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is tasbih with the fingers of the hands a bid'ah (religious innovation), as some scholars say?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with glorifying Allah with the fingers of both the right and left hands, and there is no objection to it. However, some scholars say that glorifying Allah with the right hand is better. That is their opinion, but there is no objection to glorifying Allah with the fingers of both your right and left hands. There is no evidence prohibiting that; it is merely a matter of preference, or rather, a preference for glorifying Allah with the right hand only. One should not warn people against or prevent them from doing something for which there is no evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
