Ruling On Writing (S) Or (SAWS) Etc by Nobody: 9:22pm On Oct 21, 2016 |
Praise be to Allaah.
What is prescribed is to write “salla Allaahu
‘alayhi wa salaam (May Allaah send blessings
and peace upon him)” in full, and not to
write it in abbreviated form, such as writing
(S) or (SAWS) etc.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah
have mercy on him) said:
As it is prescribed to send blessings upon
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) in prayer when saying the
tashahhud, and it is prescribed when giving
khutbahs, saying du’aa’ and praying for
forgiveness, and after the adhaan, and when
entering and exiting the mosque, and when
mentioning him in other circumstances, so
it is more important to do so when writing
his name in a book, letter, article and so on.
So it is prescribed to write the blessing in
full so as to fulfil the command that Allaah
has given to us, and so that the reader will
remember to say the blessing when he
reads it. So we should not write the blessing
on the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) in short form such as
writing (S) or (SAWS) etc, or other forms that
some writers use, because that is going
against the command of Allaah in His Book,
where He says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“Send your Salaah on (ask Allaah to bless)
him (Muhammad), and (you should) greet
(salute) him with the Islamic way of
greeting (salutation, i.e. As‑Salaamu
‘Alaykum)”
[al-Ahzaab 33:56]
And that (writing it in abbreviated form)
does not serve that purpose and is devoid of
the virtue of writing “salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa
salaam (May Allaah send blessings and
peace upon him)” in full. Moreover the
reader may not take notice of it and may not
understand what is meant by it. It should
also be noted that the symbol used for it is
regarded as disapproved by the scholars,
who warned against it. #source: islamqa.com |
