Question

Advise me about Salatul Tasbih. I have read that it is very beneficial to offer this salat every day, but I have also read that it is bidah.

Answer

Our Beloved Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) said to his uncle(father's brother) Sayyiduna Abbass (may Allah be pleased with him) Oh Uncle, shall I not give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you. When you do 10 things Allah will forgive your
Sins; of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained and taught the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you can pray this salah once a day [then do it], if you cannot pray once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime.
[Approximate translation of the meaning of narration in Abu'Dawood &Tirimzi, refer to books of Azkar and Dua for the Arabic text]

And Allah knows best.
