Question:
This questioner says that some people, when they write the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a piece of paper, write the letter "sad" after his name instead of saying "peace and blessings be upon him."
Answer:
No, no, that is not sufficient. One says "peace and blessings be upon him," and the letter "sad" is not sufficient? Some people think that the name of the Messenger is "sad." If they see "the Prophet" written and then "sad," they think the Prophet's name is "sad." Yes.
