Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on expressing satisfaction with the Salaf from the Tabi'un, or their followers, such as saying, "Imam Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him)"?
Answer:
That is fine; there is nothing wrong with expressing satisfaction with him or sending blessings upon him. However, this should not be made a slogan, not made a slogan to be used every time he is mentioned, saying "may Allah be pleased with him" every time, or "may Allah send blessings upon him" every time. It is fine if it is done occasionally. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The slogan of expressing satisfaction is for the Companions, and the slogan of sending blessings is for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
