The ruling on an iron ring and sending blessings upon the Prophet when he is mentioned
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding an iron ring, it is not authentic.
The Shaykh:
He sought it, even if it was an iron ring. Yes. It should be avoided; it should be avoided as long as it is part of the attire of the disbelievers. One should not imitate them. Whoever imitates a people is one of them. Yes.
The questioner:
As for sending blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whether he is mentioned by name or by pronoun, is it all the same? Meaning, is the ruling the same?
The Shaykh:
Send blessings upon him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, when his mention passes by.
