What is the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eighty times after the 'Asr prayer on Friday?

Question:
He asks about the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eighty times after the 'Asr prayer on Friday, using this formula: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and his Companions, and grant them peace."

Answer:
Yes, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is prescribed at all times. On the night of Friday and the day of Friday specifically, one should increase in sending blessings upon him (peace and blessings be upon him). However, this is done without specifying a particular time, such as after 'Asr, and without specifying a particular number, such as one hundred times, because this requires evidence. Acts of worship are based on divine legislation. Yes.
In their essence, in their manner, and in their timing, acts of worship must be based on evidence. There is no evidence specifying a particular time on Friday to be dedicated to sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor is there evidence specifying a particular number. All of this is bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
