Is it permissible to recite the salutation without sending peace upon our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-‘Uthaymeen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible to recite either the salutation or the prayer alone, but it is better to combine them.

The questioner : After the tashahhud in the greetings, after saying: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger...

The Shaykh : The hadith states that its conclusion is "His slave and His Messenger," and the Messenger taught his Companions the tashahhud as the first thing he taught them
as-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). السلام عليك أيها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسوله
