Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Salim says: Ahmad is a name that does not take the genitive case, so why did the poet inflect it with tanwin and kasrah in his verse, "by the way of Ibrahim, in it, and Ahmad"?
Answer:
And Ahmad was not inflected in "by the way of Ibrahim, in it, and Ahmad"; he did not say "and Ahmad" in a way that would allow inflection, even though it is permissible to inflect a name that is prohibited from inflection out of necessity for poetry. There is no harm. Yes.
