Is it permissible to pay Salah al-Tasbih four to five times daily on a regular basis?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I got more success in concentration during the course of paying nafl salah “Salah al-Tasbih”. Hence I intend to pay four five times daily on regular basis. Kindly let me know whether the same is permissible in the light of Hadith as well as Shariah and there will be no violation of Holy Prophet’s (pbuh) sunnah.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 547/551/H=06/1436)

If you offer Salah al-Tasbih four or five times daily while you offer fardh and wajib salah, then it is alright. However, the best deed in the sight of Allah is that is done regularly though less in quantity in contrary to the deed which is temporary though more in quantity.
عن عائشة أن النبي – صلى الله عليه وسلم – دخل عليها وعندها امرأة قال من هذه، قالت فلانة تذكر من صلاتها قال منه عليكم بما تطيقون فو الله لا يمل الله حتى تملوا وكان أحب الدين إليه ما داوم عليه صاحبه (بخاري شريف)
It is far better for you to offer Salah al-Tasbih only once a day on regular basis than offering it many times daily and discontinuing after a few days.
قال العينى، فيه فضيلة الدوام على العمل والحث على العمل الذى يدوم والعمل القليل الدائم خير من الكثير المنقطع (عمدة القارى 1/257 باب أحب الدين إلى الله ادومه)

Allah knows Best!
