Q: Is the using of rosary beads or a tasbih counter allowed to keep count of Zikr/Tasbeeh?
A: The use of rosary beads or a counter is permissible. (Raddul Muhtaar, 5:53)Counting of the Tasbeehaat is proven from the Sahaaba radhiallahu anhum. Details of this can be found in the book of Imam Suyooti rahiumahullah, Al Musabbihah 1:1.
