Question:
On Monday and Friday, some people gather and mention the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) collectively. Is this action correct? Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for this action mentioned by the questioner, which is gathering on a specific day to mention the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), whether individually or collectively, all of this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) with no basis. This is an exaggeration and over-praising of his right (peace and blessings be upon him), which is feared to lead to shirk (associating partners with Allah). He said: narrated by the two Shaykhs.
What is prescribed (mashru') regarding his right (peace and blessings be upon him) is to love him (peace and blessings be upon him) more than one loves oneself, one's family, one's father, one's child, and all of mankind, as well as to follow him (peace and blessings be upon him) and obey him.
Likewise, among his rights (peace and blessings be upon him) is that one prays for him and sends peace upon him. Allah the Exalted said: So Allah has commanded us to pray for him and send peace upon him. This is not to be done on a specific day, in a collective manner, or with a specific arrangement. Rather, one prays for him and sends peace upon him (peace and blessings be upon him) without being restricted to a specific time, unless there is a Shari'ah evidence. Likewise, it is not to be done collectively with a collective voice; rather, every Muslim prays for him and sends peace upon him individually, either secretly or openly, especially when he is mentioned (peace and blessings be upon him), and in the places where praying for him and sending peace upon him has been prescribed, such as in the final tashahhud of the prayer. Likewise, in the two khutbahs: the khutbahs of Jumu'ah and the prayer for rain, and the two khutbahs of the festivals. In these places, the gathering to pray for him (peace and blessings be upon him) is prescribed. It is obligatory for the Muslim to follow the evidence in this matter and not to follow the customs and traditions that people have innovated for which there is no evidence.
Based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): That is innovating a characteristic for sending prayers and blessings upon him, or for mentioning him on a specific day, or a specific gathering, or on his birthday, or the like. All of this is among the innovated bid'ahs. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He reward you.
