Shortening the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet with the letter Sad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: The letter Sad is placed after the word "wasallam" (and peace be upon him),
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
after the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned, as a shortening. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible. It is said as "wasallam" and pronounced as such, and there is no truthful response to it, because some people assume that the name of the Messenger is "Sadiq." Some people say "Sallam 'alayhi wa sallam" (abbreviated as Sallam 'alayhi wa sallam), and the one who comes after thinks that the name of the Messenger is "Sallam 'alayhi wa sallam." Yes.
