The preferred method of glorifying Allah in the mosque is with the fingers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner also asks: Is it permissible, O Shaykh, for me to use a misbaha (prayer beads) for glorifying Allah?
Answer:
The fingers are preferred, but in your home you may use a misbaha, or a string of knots, or pebbles, or date pits; there is nothing wrong with that. However, in the mosques and in the presence of people, using the fingers is the Sunnah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do, and that is what is best for you.
