The
ruling regarding sending prayers (and salutations) upon the
Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam), loudly before and after the adhaan
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What is the ruling regarding sending prayers and salutations
upon the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) before the adhaan
and after it in a loud voice?
Response:
The ruling in this is that it is an innovation which was not
done in the time of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and nor in the time of the rightly
guided Khulafaa.
and nor by any of the companions. It has been confirmed on
the authority of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) that he said:
((Whoever
introduces anything into this matter of ours (i.e. Islaam)
that which is not from it, will have it rejected)),
[Saheeh
al-Bukhaaree/2697 and Saheeh
Muslim/1718].
And
in another narration, by Muslim:
((Whoever
does an act which is not in agreement with us (i.e. Allaah
(subhaanahu wa ta'aala) and Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) ) then it will be rejected)),
[Saheeh
Muslim/1718].
It
is legislated that the mu.adhdhin
quietly (within himself) sends prayers and salutations upon
the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
after the adhaan
and not does raise his voice at all when doing so, as doing
so is an innovation. So, the adhaan
ends when the mu.adhdhin
says: ((Laa
ilaaha ill-Allaah)) according to the consensus of the
people of knowledge. He should then ask Allaah for his intercession.
Likewise it is from the Sunnah
for whoever hears the adhaan
to repeat that which the mu.adhdhin
says (of the adhaan)
except when the mu.adhdhin
says: ((Hayya
'alas-Salaah)) and ((Hayya
'alal-Falaah)), thereby one should say: ((Laa
Hawla wa laa Quwwata illa Billaah)). He should then send
prayers and salutations upon the Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and ask Allaah for his intercession.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
