Recording the sending of blessings upon the Prophet in forums

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This question says: Honorable Shaykh, in some forums, topics are posted such as: "If you enter here, record your sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So the person entering this program records the sending of blessings in writing. Is this a form of reminding, or is it considered a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
This is an innovation and an act of excessive effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. It is not necessary for everyone who enters to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sending blessings upon the Prophet when entering the mosque is a recommended practice (sunnah). If one leaves it off, he owes nothing. There is no need to attach this to it and record it. All of this is excessive effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
