Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to send prayers and blessings upon anyone other than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it should not be adopted as a slogan, like the Shi'ah do. They adopt this slogan with 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), saying "peace be upon him." If this is a slogan of the innovators, it should not be adopted.
