Reading a short Durood after tashahhud instead of Durood Ebrahim

· 17 Jumada II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

In the final sitting if one says: اللهم صل على محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم, is the prayer valid?

Answer

Yes, the salaah is valid. However, it is better and more rewarding to recite the Durood Ebrahim that is reported in the Hadith.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
