Assalamu Alaykum,
There were a few questions from the sisters which were left unanswered in the last event. As promised, we will provide the answers on the blog insha Allah. If you have a question which you would like answered, post it as a comment and we will try answer it as soon as possible insha Allah.

However, one should not limit oneself to this dua only, and try to purchase a nice dua book and read from there, accompanying it with dua from the heart.
Question: Is tasbeeh a bid'ah? As I was told there is no proof that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used a tasbeeh.
Coming soon insha Allah:
Question: Is going to tabligh i.e. going out for 3 or 40 days haram?
Question: I have bought some skin care cream which has ingredients from the dead sea. Is it true that the dead sea is cursed? Should I use the cream?
Question: If I enter Paradise (Jannat) but my parents fail to do so, can I, as a Muslim ask Allah to allow them to also enter Jannat although (e.g. my father isn't a strong believer) their belief is really weak? But that also means that he will first get punished for his sins and then enter Jannat?

O Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me.

Answer: The idea [of using a tasbeeh] is to count the Dhikr. Be it counted with the fingers or with beads, both are permissible.
