Saying "Ya Rasool Allah"

Question

If a man says "Ya Rasool Allah" in durood shareef, is he a mushrik?

Answer

If one's aqeedah is not corrupt, one will not become a kaafir. However at the time of reciting durood one should not say Ya Rasulullah. One should only say Ya Rasulullah (in address to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)) when one is before the grave of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
