The Ruling on Tasbih with the Right and Left Hands
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message reached the program from one of the female listeners. She says: Your sister in Allah, Rima, our sister, asks a collection of questions, one of which is: It is said that tasbih is only with the right hand, while it is not permissible with the left hand. What is your opinion, Your Eminence?
Answer:
The matter is broad if one does tasbih with both hands; there is no harm. If one does tasbih with the right hand, that is better. It is narrated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do tasbih with the right hand. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to prefer the right hand in putting on his sandals, combing his hair, performing his ablution, and in all his affairs." So if one does tasbih with the right hand, it is better. If one does tasbih with both hands, there is no blame. It is reported that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to some women:Mishkat al-Masabih 2316 This includes both hands entirely. So the matter is broad in this, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
