Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner works in Riyadh, Majid in Riyadh, Ahmad, Mīm, 'Ayn. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. In my correspondence and writings, when I mention the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and write about him, I send blessings upon him, but I use the abbreviation "S" to save time and space in writing. This is known to us as this writing. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This does not achieve the required purpose. Writing "S" or "S.S" does not achieve the required purpose. Rather, it is obligatory to write "sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam," and in doing so, you will receive great reward and much good. As for writing the abbreviation, this does not fulfill the act of worship; it does not fulfill the act of worship. I seek forgiveness from Allah. If I said, if I said "S" or "F," this would not be seeking forgiveness. I seek forgiveness. It is necessary to come from the word "I seek forgiveness from Allah." Yes. May Allah reward you with good. The question.
