The Ruling on Reciting Poetic Praises of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah prolong your life in His obedience. Is it permissible to recite poetic praises of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that do not contradict his rights or the love for him?

Answer:
Reciting poetry and anthems are not from the love of the Messenger, and they are an innovation. However, poems that praise the Messenger, such as the poems of Hassan ibn Thabit and the poems of al-Tayyibah, are recited without the arrangement of groups of reciters and the harmonizing of voices, and so on. Yes, they are recited for the sake of following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in praising him and his call. Yes.
