Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some preachers, as well as poets, when they are supporting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), say "O Messenger of Allah" in the form of direct address. Is this permissible?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible, because this resembles calling upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for aid, supplicating to him, and addressing him. This is only mentioned in the final tashahhud, the final tashahhud only, and it is done to bring the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to mind, because you are addressing him. We do what has been reported and we do not add to it. Yes.
