Question:
He says: I went to visit the Prophet's Mosque, and a man told me, "When you come to the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), say to him that so-and-so is conveying the salam to you." Is this action permissible?
Answer:
There is no god but Allah, meaning that the salam is not conveyed except by sending the salam to the Messenger. You send the salam to the Messenger and pray upon him wherever you are, even if you are at the farthest point on earth. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:1006 So there is no need for you to instruct someone to pray upon the Messenger and send the salam to him. Pray upon him and send the salam to him while you are in any place. Yes.

صَلُّوا عَلِيَّ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتُمْ فَإِنَّ صَلاتَكُمْ تَبْلُغُنِي
