The questioner : ... for example ... for adornment or for playing with them, and so on. So what is the response to ... .

The Shaykh : No, if they are generally used for dhikr (remembrance of Allah), it is not permissible ... based on the principle
but do not cooperate in sin and aggression ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]

Another questioner : Question

The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
