Is it forbidden to glorify God while conversing with someone, given that the tongue is accustomed to it and it is difficult to control it when listening?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no evidence prohibiting the recitation of tasbeeh (glorification of God) during a conversation. However, it is preferable to pause the tasbeeh and listen attentively to the speaker if the tasbeeh makes it difficult to understand their intent, especially if the speaker is in need or if the conversation concerns an important matter. A Muslim should frequently remember Allah with sincerity and be wary of corrupting the tasbeeh with anything that diminishes or nullifies its reward, such as listening to useless things or engaging in ostentation.
