Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My friend, a Sudanese resident in the Kingdom, asks: What is the ruling on exalting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Exalting him is obligatory without going to extremes. Exalting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in a manner befitting him is obligatory, but it must be without going to extremes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “I do not like you to raise me above my status. I am Muhammad, the Messenger of AllahAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:726 Therefore, it is not permissible to go to extremes with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or with any of the awliya (close friends of Allah) or the righteous, because this is one of the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
