Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I go to al-Madinah, some of my colleagues ask me to convey their salam to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Send your salam to him while you are here, my brother.
ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
to him while you are here. Do not send it through one person. Do not send it through one person. This is what is not reported that they do. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Send your prayers upon me wherever you are, for your prayers reach me.صَلُّوا عَلِيَّ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ صَلاتَكُمْ تَبْلُغُنِي.
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:1006
And I have heard that whoever sends salam to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from near the Messenger, he hears it. And whoever sends salam to him from far away, there are angels who convey the salam, who are not from the children of Adam, but from the angels. Yes.
