Question:
Regarding this matter, when writing the name of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), is it permissible to abbreviate the prayer upon him with a word or with the letter "S"?
Answer:
No, "S" is not a prayer, "S" is not a prayer. One must say "sallallahu alayhi wa sallam" or "may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him"[Al-Ahzab 33:56] This is necessary. They used to write "Sallam" and one person thought "Sallam" was the name of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He thought "Sallam" was the name of the Messenger. Yes.
