Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are phrases that have started to be placed on the back of cars, such as "My father and mother are sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah." Is this invocation permissible, O Messenger of Allah?

Answer:
What they do not intend by this calling for aid is what would make this forbidden. Rather, they intend to bring him to mind, just as we say in the tashahhud, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet." "Peace be upon you, O Prophet" is a matter of bringing him to mind, not a matter of addressing him as if he were among us or present among us. Rather, this is a matter of mental visualization, as they say. Yes.
