The ruling on concluding the sermon with the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I ask you to clarify your statement regarding the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the sermon, because it may reach a hundred [instances], as much has been said about it.
The Shaykh:
Yes, we have clarified this and said that the one who concludes the sermon concludes it with a verse instead of saying that he should recite the verse[An-Nahl 16:90] and make the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet in its place and conclude with that. This has no basis. The invocation of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the sermon, at the time of the sermon after the two testimonies, and if he says [Al-Ahzab 33:56], that is good and that is followed. But that something happens at the end of the sermon, a conclusion to the sermon with the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet, this was not known in the sermons of the scholars of knowledge. Bring me any collection of sermons from the sermons of the scholars of knowledge; there is not a single one concluded with the request, but rather concluded with verses. This is my point itself.
The questioner:
If the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is commanded.
The Shaykh:
There is no objection during the sermon. Allah commanded that[Al-Ahzab 33:56] There is no objection during the sermon, yes.

Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِIndeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًاThe questioner:
