Question:
Is seeking forgiveness with prayer beads a religious innovation?
Answer:
If one believes that there is a reward and merit in it, then it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, if one uses it as a common matter, like pebbles or beads, to count the tasbih (remembrance of Allah) without believing that there is a reward or merit in it, then there is no harm.
