Should the writing of "Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad" with a yaa' be corrected for people, along with a warning about a potential error in the quote "wa la tusahib illa mu'minan" in Fatwa no. 36991?
The phrase mentioned is part of a well-known Hadith, but it was written incorrectly in the fatwa referenced. It is necessary to correct typographical errors, especially in prophetic Hadiths. The more correct way to write "صَلِّ" (salli) is by omitting the yaa' (ي), but including it is permissible and follows the dialect of some Arabs. The widespread nature of these errors makes tracking them impossible, so what can be pointed out should be corrected.
