Is it permissible to say: "This does not please the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," instead of "This does not please Allah," when referring to something that does not conform to the Sharia, such as looking at a woman?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Pleasing the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, is pleasing Allah the Almighty, for He says: "But Allah and His Messenger are more worthy that they should seek to please Him if they are believers," and "Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah." So, there is no harm in this phrase because Allah and His Messenger are not pleased with disobedience, even though it is more befitting to prioritize the pleasure of Allah the Almighty.
