Repeating the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 43 ):
Q1: Some people hold that it is obligatory to send salutations upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once, and that thereafter it remains recommended?
A1: Sending prayers and salutations upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is obligatory; because Allah the Exalted commanded it in His saying:[Al-Ahzab 33:56] , and the default ruling of a command is obligation. Since the command in the verse does not indicate repetition, its obligation is once in a lifetime, and repeating them is recommended; due to the hadiths that encourage it, except in the places where the hadiths indicate their obligation there.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
