Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on a person saying, "May Allah send blessings and peace upon so-and-so," or saying, "May Allah be pleased with so-and-so," when that person is neither a Prophet nor a Companion?
Answer:
No, if he was a Muslim and one of the people of virtue and religion, there is no harm. However, this should not be adopted as a slogan for certain individuals. As for saying it to some of them, there is no harm, provided it is not done habitually. Yes.
