The ruling on limiting the writing of the prayer upon the Prophet to the letter (ص)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when they write the word "the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)," write the letter Sad after it as an abbreviation for the prayer. Is this permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible. This is not the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The letter Sad is not a prayer upon the Messenger. Rather, some people write "Sallama 'alayhi wa sallam" (Sallama 'alayhi wa sallam), and some of the ignorant thought that the name of the Messenger was "Sallama 'alayhi wa sallam."
