Durud-e-Kamara And It’s Authenticity
Innovation in Deen is to add something new to the contents of Religion without establishing its ascription to the prophet. Here, in this case, nothing is added to the contents of religion. To say Darood is an act of worship and a kind of Zikr. But man is allowed to adopt anyway to say it according to his choice. This form of saying Darood has been adopted from the freedom of choice given by the religion. It can become an innovation if someone claims that this is the order of Deen to do this in this particular way. It is not like, for example, adding a sixth prayer to already five prescribed prayer. but one is allowed to say as many Nawafil as one likes to. In this area a man can adopt a specific time and number of Nawafil according to his convinience and choice it is not innovation in Deen.
If it’s allowed this , one day it May take a shape, that every where you will find durood kamare . people may begin to give importance to them over mosques and they will throng to such locations to spend their time there instead of worshiping at mosques. At that time is it not difficult to stop and convince the people to eschew this practice ? Hence is it not better to stop this now? If at all they wants to offer durood they can very well do so in mosques.
