Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, they count the tasbih and istighfar with a misbaha rather than with their hands. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
If he only wants to count the tasbih without believing that the misbaha has any virtue, there is nothing wrong with it; counting with his fingers on the misbaha is fine. But if he believes that the misbaha has a virtue, that is not permissible; it has no virtue. Yes.
