It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Abdullah Bin Umar (May Allah Ta'ala be well pleased with them):
Translation of Hadith: You send Durud profusely on the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) on Friday, as every Friday it is presented before Him on your behalf. (Kitab Ush Shifa, Vol. 2, Pg. No. 79)
It is established by the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari that placing food in front of us and praying is permissible. On the contrary, there is no Hadith/Tradition, which forbids placing food in front of us and praying. The Hadith also mention the excellence ad benefits of reciting Surah Fatiha, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq, Surah Naas, etc. In Fatiha also the same are recited and Durud in sent on the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam). The reward of all this is gifted to someone else. In light of the Shariah, all these acts are permissible and valued.
