The Ruling on the Misbaha and Using It for Dhikr

Question:
This is a questioner for the program who says: We ask about the misbaha; because its use is common among us, and if it is a bid'ah (religious innovation), what is your comment, O Shaykh, on the hadith of the pebbles?

Answer:
There is no harm in using the misbaha, but the fingers are better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite dhikr with his fingers (peace and blessings be upon him). He would recite dhikr after the prayer in all times with his fingers, so the fingers are better. meaning: these fingers. And if one recites dhikr with pebbles, or with date pits, or with the misbaha; there is no harm in that, and praise be to Allah that it is all permissible, but with the fingers is better. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
