Ruling on a Person who stops from sending Salawaat
Query 7: What is the ruling of Shariat regarding that person who stops people from sending Salawaat (Salutations upon Holy Prophet ﷺ) and who says that by doing this, (Allah forbid) we are calling to the dead?
The Verdict: Such a person is a very disrespectful and rude person. He does not know what he is saying, by speaking such insolent words.
It is Fard upon him to repeat his Kalima, refresh his Imaan and re-perform his Nikah. It seems as if this unfortunate person does not even say ‘As Salaamu Alaika Ayuhan Nabi’ when reciting the At’tahiyaat during Namaaz.
Possibly this person is a Wahabi and if he is a Wahabi, then these Wahabis say more blasphemous things than this. Why then is he complaining about this? If he is not a Wahabi, then he is one who sits in the company of Wahabis. واللہ تعالیٰ اعلم
