      How Is That For Writing "Saad, Laam, 'Aien,           Meem" In Place Of Durood Shareef?

                                         

Answer:

 One must write "Sallallahu 'Alaiehi Wasallam" or the like with the blessed name of the Holy Prophet when he/she writes it. Some religious scholars maintain it to be "Waajib" (essential act). It is impermissible and "Haraam" (unlawful) to write "Saad, Laam, 'Aien, Meem" or only "Saad" in place of Durood Shareef or to write 'Aien, Meem or only 'Aien in lieu of 'Alaie-his-Salaam. Unfortunately, this ignoble act is so common now that even some religious scholars are also given to it. Just to save a little amount of ink or some space of paper or to save a few seconds they deprive themselves of Divine blessings and graces.

Imaam Jalaaluddin Siyuti امام جلالدین سیوطی has reported that the man who was first to introduce this abbreviation of Durood Shareef had his hand amputated. Similarly, writing "Qaaf in place of "Quddisa

Sirruhoo" or "RaaHaa" in lieu of "Rahmatul LaahTa'laa 'Alaieh رحمۃاللہ علیہ" is an idiocy and is to deprive one of blessings. Such nonsense should be avoided.
