Topic: Using the Kunyah Abu al-Qasim

(No-66106)

Q Assalamu Alaikum, Mufti Sahib. What is the ruling on using the kunyah Abu al-Qasim? Has it been prohibited in hadith?

aIt should be understood that, according to the majority of the jurists, the prohibition on using the kunyah Abu al-Qasim (ابو القاسم), which was the kunyah of the Prophet ﷺ, was limited to his lifetime. After his ﷺ passing from this world, there is no objection to using the kunyah Abu al-Qasim. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.

الدر المختار:
ومن کان اسمہ محمدًا لا بأس بأن یکنی أبا القاسم لأن قولہ علیہ السلام: سمّوا باسمي ولا تکنوا بکنُیَتِیْ، قد نسخ، لأن علیًّا رضي اللہ عنہ کنی ابنَہ محمد بن الحنفیة أبا القاسم۔
