Sajdah counter
Question
We have developed a new product which is placed in front of the prayer mat that records the number of Sajdas and Rakaats performed by the worshipper on a small screen. It has no video and no music. Using this product the worshipper is not confused or distracted regarding Sajdas performed. With this product a person can concrete and focus on praying which is very important. Please advise whether it is permissible to use this product to remember?
Answer
We discourage these types of items. In salaah you should be concentrating on salaah and not on any other instrument etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
