Fatwa #142923 June 2006France
should we say 'sallallaahu alayhi wasallam' or 'sallallaahu alayhi wa alehi wasallam' ?
Question
should we say 'sallallaahu alayhi wasallam' or 'sallallaahu alayhi wa alehi wasallam' ? Is the latter correct/more virtuous or is it innovation?
Answer
Both forms of Salaat and Salawaat (peace and salutations) are correct. The second has an addition of the family of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and is more virtuous.
