The Ruling on Sending Blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Some scholars said that it is obligatory to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in certain places, among which is: when his name is mentioned. If the name of the Messenger is mentioned in your presence, send blessings upon him, because Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 646 If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned in your presence, send blessings upon him. If you do not do so, Jibril has invoked a curse upon you that your nose be crushed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Ameen" to this.
The second of the places where it is obligatory to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the tashahhud, specifically the final tashahhud. Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the final tashahhud is a pillar (rukn) according to some scholars, a pillar among the pillars of prayer, without which the prayer is not valid. It is an obligatory act (wajib) among the obligations of prayer according to others, and a recommended practice (sunnah) among the sunnahs according to others. Thus, there are three opinions in this issue. Some scholars said that sending blessings upon him in the final tashahhud is a pillar without which the prayer is not valid. Some said it is obligatory, and the prayer is not valid without it unless a person forgets it, in which case the prayer is valid and it is made up with the prostration for forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw). And some said that it is a sunnah.
My dear brother, tell me about these opinions?

The Shaykh : Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the final tashahhud?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Is it obligatory or not?

The Shaykh : And some?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Some scholars say it is obligatory, some others say it is a sunnah, and a third group says it is a pillar among the pillars of prayer. Rest.
What is the difference between a pillar (rukn) and an obligatory act (wajib) in prayer?
The difference is that the prayer is not valid without a pillar, even if you forget it, you must perform it and prostrate for forgetfulness. As for the obligatory act, if you leave it out due to forgetfulness, you are not required to perform it, but you are required to perform the prostration for forgetfulness. This is the difference between them.
[Al-Ahzab 33:56].
