Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the opinion on the following phrases: "We are all a ransom for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)," "We are all alive," "We are all for Muhammad," or "We are all a ransom for Muhammad (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him)"? And what is the ruling on displaying these phrases on cars, for example?
Answer:
"We are all for Muhammad" or "a ransom" — the meaning is the same. It appears to me that there is nothing wrong with this, because when Hassan ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) responded to the poet of the polytheists who insulted the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said to him: "If my honor, my father's honor, and my mother's honor are at stake, then my honor, my father's honor, and my mother's honor are a shield for the honor of Muhammad against you." So he ransomed him with his own honor and the honor of his mother and father. Therefore, ransoming the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with one's self, honor, or wealth is an obligatory matter.
