Summary
Practising the Munjiyyat salawat is permissible because its wording and meaning do not contradict Islamic law. Acting on a dream is allowed provided it does not conflict with Islamic creed or the limits of sharia rulings, but a dream cannot serve as proof or a basis for establishing a ruling. The best salawat remains one grounded in textual evidence, such as the Ibrahimiyyah salawat taught by the Prophet SAW.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak menjadi sebarang masalah untuk beramal dengan selawat Munjiyyat. Ini kerana lafaz dan maknanya tidak bercanggah dengan ketetapan syarak.
