Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it obligatory to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he is mentioned?

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory when he is mentioned, as evidenced by the hadith: "May Allah curse the nose of..."
Whoever I am mentioned to and he does not send blessings upon me, let him die and enter the Fire, so may Allah distance him. Say: "Ameen." He said: "Ameen."من ذكرت عنده فلم يصل عليك فمات فدخل النار فأبعده الله قل آمين قال آمين
Sahih Ibn Hibban 7:303
So he is to be sent blessings upon when he is mentioned, it is obligatory to send blessings upon him when he is mentioned, and this is his right over us. And in the hadith:
The other hadith: The stingy one is he to whom I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me. The third hadith: Send blessings upon me wherever you are, for your blessings reach me.الآخر البخيل من ذكرت عنده فلم يصل علي. الحديث الثالث صلوا علي حيث كنتم فإن صلاتكم تبلغني.
