Do plants and animals indulge in Zikr all the time? Any reference in terms of Qur’an and Hadith to this? Also have you come across any scientific evidence of this?
Question
My friend suggested that I keep a green plant in my house so that there is always ?someone? doing Zikr in the house when I am not, or when I am out.
Answer
All the creations of Allah Ta'ala do the Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala. The Qur'aan mentions, 'And there is nothing except that it does the Tasbeeh (glorification) of Allah, but you (O man) do not understand its Tasbeeh.'
There is no need as such to acquire plants for this purpose, for if it was an act of virtue, the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) would have acquired plants for this purpose.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
