Is it better to say radiyallah ‘anha or ‘alayhas salam for Maryam? What is the case for disputed Prophets like Luqman?
Answer:
‘Allamah Nawawi (rahimahullah) has stated that one should say ‘radiyallahu ‘anhu’ / ‘radiyallahu ‘anha’ for Sayyidah Maryam and Luqman Al-Hakim. He also states; ‘if one were to say ‘alayhis salam or ‘alayhas salam it will also be fine.
(Al-Adhkar, before Hadith: 355)
This is also the widespread practice of the ‘Ulama in general as is evident from their writings.
Lastly, the view of the vast majority is that Luqman Al-Hakim was not a Prophet.
(Al-Adhkar, before Hadith: 355)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
