Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulIftaBirmingham

Answered by: Maulana Sibghat Ullah

Question

Can you do tasbeeh without wudu?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

It is not necessary to be in a state of wudu to do dhikr/tasbeeh. It is, however, recommended to do be in the best of states when doing zikr/tasbeeh.

The Prophet did not reply to salaam without wudu because salaam is the name of Allah.[i]

To get maximum benefits it is best that you are in the state of wudu when doing one of the beautiful acts like zikr.

Only Allah knows best

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: A man passed by the Prophet while he was urinating, and greeted him with the Salam, but he did not return the greeting. While he finished, he struck the ground with his palms and did dry ablution (Tayammum), then he returned the greeting.
