Is Durood Shareef classified as zikr?
Question
Can durood shareef be classified as zikr of Allah?
Also, what has more importance, reciting durood shareef or praying nawafil?
Answer
It is also a type of zikr because Allah Ta`ala has commanded the recitation of durood shareef.
Both must be done, and times must be programmed, some time for durood, some time for istighfaar and some time for nafl namaaz.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
