QUESTION Some people write an abbreviated version of the salaams, which is similar to "seen-raa'-baa'" in 'Arabic. They write "ws wr wb" in English. What is the ruling on this? ANSWER by Shaykh Wasee Allaah 'Abbaas, lecturer at the Ka'bah, instructor at Umm Al-Quraa University in Makkah It is not permissible to abbreviate the salaams in general in one's writing, just as it is not permissible to abbreviate the salaah and salaam on the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam). It is also not permissible to abbreviate either of these in one's speech. SOURCE This was translated exclusively for www.bakkah.net from a handwritten answer provided by the shaykh, file no. AAWA004, dated 1423/6/24. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> See what's inside the new Yahoo!
