The Ruling on writing the salutation to the Prophet with a [ص ] or with [ص ل ع م ]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question:

Many people write the salutation to the Prophet with (Saad) or with (Saad, Laam, Ain and Meem) as an abridgement. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:

Some of the scholars have cautioned against this. It is not befitting, and it is falling short in fulfilling the rights of the Prophet, as pointed out by a group of those amongst the scholars—those who author (books) on the subject matter of the science of hadeeth. It is not befitting to limit the (salutation to the Prophet in writing) with Saad, Laam, Aim or with Saad alone; rather it should be written completely [i.e. صلى الله عليه وسلم ]

Muhammad Bin Ajlaan [rahimahullaah] said:

”Indeed, speech is four [types]: [a] you remember Allaah; [b]Recite the Qur’aan; [c] You are asked about an affair of knowledge, so you give information about it; [d] or you speak about an affair of the worldly life that concerns you.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:144]

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said:

”It is not befitting the believer than his greatest concern is his stomach (i.e. filling his stomach with food) and that his desires should overcome him.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:443]

Uthmaan Bin Zaa-idah (rahimahullaah) said:

Sufyaan Ath-thawree wrote to me (saying): ”If you want your body to be healthy and your sleep to be less, then have little food.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: Page:444]

Answer:

Allaah the most high says:  كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

[”Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.’’ [83:14]   Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) derived from this ayah that sin is a cause of not (being able) to understand the Qur’aan.

Is it permissible for my mum to uncover herself in front of the children of my father’s other wife, and give them salaam?

Answer:

There is no harm if your Mother uncovers her face in front of her husband’s children whom he had from another wife, and this is because they are from her Mahrams, Allaah The Most High said: (24,31) (أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنّ) […Or their husband’s sons (24,31)]
