What is the ruling on the Prayer of Tasabih?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You are asking about the prayer of tasbih. You say: I pray it daily after the 'Isha' prayer and before going to sleep. Is this time appropriate?
Answer:
The correct view is that it is not valid. The prayer of tasbih is not valid. Pray as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray. Pray the rak'ahs according to the Shari'ah rules. Recite al-Fatihah and whatever is easy for you with it. Then bow and say: Subhan Rabbi al-'Azeem (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), Subhan Rabbi al-'Azeem, Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika, Allahumma ighfir li (Glory be to You, O our Lord, and with Your praise. O Allah, forgive me), Subuh Quddus Rabb al-Mala'ikah wa al-Ruh (The One who is free from all imperfections, the Holy One, Lord of the angels and the Spirit). Then raise your head and say: Sami' Allahu li man hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him), Rabbana wa laka al-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fihi, mil' al-samawati wa mil' al-ardhi wa mil' ma baynahuma wa mil' ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd (O our Lord, to You belongs all praise, abundant, good, and blessed praise, filling the heavens, filling the earth, filling what is between them, and filling whatever else You will). Then prostrate. If you add after bowing: Ahl al-thana' wa al-majd, ahaqqu ma qala al-'abd, wa kulluna laka 'abd (O You who are the possessor of praise and glory, You are most worthy of what the servant says, and we are all Your servants), Allahumma la mani'a li ma atayta, wa la mu'tiya li ma mana'ta, wa la yanfa'u dha al-jaddi minka al-jadd (O Allah, there is none who can prevent what You give, and none who can give what You withhold, and the wealth of the wealthy does not benefit him against You), then that is better if it is easy for you to do so. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it at times. The point is that the prayer of tasbih is not valid. This is the correct view regarding it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, the prayer of tasbih is not valid?
Answer: This is the correct view. Yes. As established by a group of scholars. Yes.
