The questioner:
Thank you for your letter published in the city of al-Shu'ayrah. Thank you for your letter published in the city of al-Shu'ayrah. Behind that, we take a position wherever you said regarding the answer, because he said and said what is at the end of the second qiblah from the day of Jumu'ah or from Jumu'ah, the doctor requests from the two Maghribians, then the mention of sending blessings upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and being pleased with that, and the prostrators are pleased with this action by innovating a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from after, where he says: One of you, if this, and those who answered Allah, that we circle around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the first

The Shaykh:
of my heart, meaning the preacher.

The questioner:
That he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the first rak'ah after the dawn and the night prayer.

The Shaykh:
Meaning the announcement, the announcement of sending blessings upon the Prophet, the announcement is to be in the first part of the sermon. As for sending blessings upon the Prophet during the sermon, between him and himself, this is not accepted. Rather, the announcement that is made, which is part of the sermon, this is not to be except in its beginning, after the praise of Allah and the two testimonies. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the sermon being an announcement of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or saying "Send blessings upon Muhammad," this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes, it is not reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did this from behind him, nor his successors, nor as far as we know. Rather, the announcement of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is for the beginning of the sermon, after the praise of Allah and the testimony. As for his saying that he, or the attendees, send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the occasion, between him and himself, this is prescribed. Perhaps we do not deny this; rather, we deny the announcement and making it part of the sermon. Yes.
