Disposal Of Tasbeeh Counters
Question
What is the best and most appropriate way to dispose of Tasbeeh counters that no longer work?
Answer
A Tasbeeh counter is not from the Shi’aar (salient features) of Deen. However, it will be best to bury it, as throwing it into a bin will be tantamount to disrespect.
“The one who will consider the various etiquettes of Deen as insignificant will be deprived of the Sunnats; the one who will consider the Sunnats of Deen as insignificant will be deprived of the Faraaidh; and the one who will consider the Faraaidh to be insignificant will be deprived of the recognition of Allah Ta’ala.”
