The Ruling on the Prayer of Tasbih and an Explanation of Its Method
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent from Oman in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by one of the brothers. The sender, Ahmad Sulayd, asks and says: What is the Prayer of Tasbih? How many rak'ahs does it have? What is its ruling? How is it performed? And what is its reward? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Prayer of Tasbih is not established... It came through various chains, all of which are weak, and it is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, it is not prescribed to perform it, nor to call people to it. Whoever authenticates its hadith has erred. It is obligatory for the Muslim to adhere to the known Sunnah and the established acts of worship, and to abandon what contradicts that. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) everything he performed of prayers, both voluntary and obligatory. He did not perform the Prayer of Tasbih, and no one has reported from him that he prayed the Prayer of Tasbih, neither in the forenoon, nor at night, nor while traveling, nor while resident.
Therefore, it is obligatory to turn away from it and leave off performing it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
