Question
Some people have begun circulating books in which we are encouraged to write Durud Sharif. In some books, the Durud is dotted, and people are encouraged to trace over the dotted line. In others, the Durud is written already in every line in grey and people are encouraged to write over the grey. Is this permissible?
Answer
No, it is not permissible. It is bid'ah. If there was any Deeni merit in this latest act of Bid'ah, it would have dawned on the Sahaabah and the Taabieen. Durood Shareef is not something which has mushroomed in this era, almost fifteen centuries after Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) taught this Ummah Durood and its virtues.
