Mm.

The questioner:
Is it permissible to say "peace and blessings be upon him" for anyone other than our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible to send blessings upon anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but this should not be adopted as a slogan for certain people, especially as the Shi'ah have adopted the slogan "peace and blessings be upon 'Ali" (may Allah be pleased with him) and not upon the other Companions. It is not permissible to adopt this slogan. It is not permissible. However, if it is said without adopting it as a slogan for anyone, there is no harm in that. Yes.
