The ruling on sending blessings upon anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for us to send blessings upon anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allhumma, salli ala ali abi awfa(O Allah! Send blessing upon the family of Abu Awfa).اللهم صل على آل أبي أوفى
Sunan Ibn Majah 1796Sahih (Darussalam)
It is permissible to send blessings upon anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but this should not be adopted as a specific emblem for certain individuals. Rather, if it is not an emblem, and is only said as a form of supplication for them, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
