Dought and clear - Guidelines on shar’i wird.

Is reading some sorts of daroods like darood-taj and darood_lakhi and
darood_tunajaiyna etc bidaa`t.
Praise be to Allaah.
We know nothing aboutwhat is in these wirds (daroods), but we can tell
you some guidelines that you can follow in order to know what is
prescribed in Islam and what is bid'ah:
1 – The best wirds are those whose words were narrated from the
Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), because Allaah did
not choose forhim anything but the most perfect and the best, and he
did not choose anything but that for his ummah.
2 – It is permissible for a person to send blessings upon the
Prophet(peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) in words that were
not narrated (in sharee'ah), so long asthey do not include anything
that is forbidden, such as exaggerating about him,or praying to Allaah
by virtue of the Prophet, or calling upon him insteadof Allaah.
3 – The one who is remembering Allaah (reciting dhikr) should not
specify any particular time, number or manner of reciting dhikr unless
that is proven with saheeh evidence, because Allaahcannot be
worshipped except in the manner that He has prescribed inHis Book or
on the lips ofHis Messenger(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him). Worship must be that which is prescribed in sharee'ah, with
regard to the act itself, the manner in which it is done, the time
when it is done andhow many times it is done. Whoever adopts a wird
whose wording was not narrated from the Prophet(peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), or specifies aparticular number of times or does
it at a specific time, is committing bid'ah.
The scholars called this bid'ahal-bid'ah al-idaafiyyah(additional
innovation??), because the action itself is prescribed in sharee'ah,
but some innovation hasbeen added to it with regard to the manner, the
number of times or when it is to be done.
You should note that all goodness rests in following that which
hasbeen narrated from the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him). Whoever studies those who recite made-up wirds will find
that usually they are falling short when it comes to doing that which
was narrated from the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) such as thedhikrs for morning and evening, etc. This confirms
what was narrated from one of thesalaf, who said that no person ever
introduces an innovation but he gives up an equivalent Sunnah.
And Allaah knows best.
