Mobile Messages: Sending Salawat on the Prophet with a Specific Number
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says (may Allah protect you): In some mobile messages, it says, “Send salawat on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and send it to, for example, ten people, so that you will receive such-and-such number of good deeds.” What is the ruling on doing that?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). The original sending of salawat on the Prophet is prescribed and good, but specifying a number and sending it to so many people is a bid'ah for which there is no evidence. Yes.
