Reciting Darood In Salah
The Qadah (Tashahhud) in Salah is a place designated for supplication, and the Prophet (sws) did not restrict us to any single, fixed dua. In fact, multiple authentic supplications from him are reported in the hadith corpus. This shows that we are allowed to recite any dua in this sitting—whether in Arabic or in our own language. Since Durood o Salam is itself a form of dua, and because the Quran (33:56) instructs believers to send prayers and blessings upon the Prophet (sws), it is entirely appropriate—and even commendable—to include Durood within our Salah along with our other supplications. Moreover, the narrations concerning Durood and Salam include clear indications that the Prophet (sws) approved of sending blessings upon him during Salah. The following references further support this understanding. https://sunnah.com/bukhari:835 https://sunnah.com/muslim:405
