al-Hamdu-Lillaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa'e wal-Mursaleen, wa ba'd:

As-Salaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullaah

One of the common practices used today through articles in books and on the net and often seen in Paltalk chat rooms is the abbreviations of both the salaam and other supplications such as (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) to (S) or (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) or the like here is a fatwa of the Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah that should insha'Allaah be sufficient to discourage us from these and other abbreiviations that we use today such as 786 instead of bismillahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem and others.

Question: Is it permissible to write the letter (S) [Saad] instead of (writing) ((sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)), and why?

Response: The Sunnah is to write the entire phrase ((sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)) - since it is a supplication; And the supplication is a (form of) worship, such as verbally saying it (the phrase), and the abbreviation for it using the letter (S) [Saad] or (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) [Saad 'Ayn Waaw] (or (SAAW) or the like) is not (constitute) a supplication, and nor a (form of) worship, whether it be by speech or writing. And because of this, this abbreviation was not used by those of the first three generations about whom the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) bore witness to their excellence.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
