How many times should I say Durood Sharif a day?
There is no obligatory fixed number. The sourced habit is ten in the morning and ten in the evening, which brings the intercession of the Prophet ﷺ (al-Tabarani). Many keep a daily wird of one hundred, and increase heavily on Friday.
Detail
For every one salawat you send, Allah sends ten upon you (Sahih Muslim 408). The return is stated plainly, which is why volume matters here.
Friday carries a specific instruction to increase salawat, because it is presented to the Prophet ﷺ that day (Abu Dawud 1047).
Durood Ibrahim, the form said in the tashahhud, is the most complete wording and needs no separate learning.
Consistency beats bursts. One hundred every day is worth more than a thousand once a month.
