Is it permissible for a Muslim to say to a Christian: "Pray for 'Isa (Jesus)"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
We do not know of any impermissibility in saying "peace and blessings be upon him" for Jesus, because he is a prophet from among God's prophets and prayers are invoked upon him. We believe in him just like all other messengers. The Christian should be invited to Islam so that he may believe in all of them.
