Sending a message of blessings upon the Prophet every Friday via mobile phone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man sends a message via mobile phone every Friday, which consists of His saying, Exalted is He:[Al-Ahzab 33:56] to the end of it. Is this specific designation and this sending every Friday considered prescribed?
The Shaykh:
Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on Friday is commanded; it is commanded on Friday, and it is better on Friday than on other days. However, sending it via mobile phone and disseminating it to the people, I do not see that it has a suitable occasion, because they may think that it is something obligatory, that they think this is something obligatory upon them. Yes.
