Is it permissible to say "Lady Aisha" and is it called "Blessed"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Aisha. Is that correct? I mean, Aisha is from the Sunnah.

The Shaykh : Yes, Aisha is undoubtedly among the noble women. I say, undoubtedly, she is among the noble women, and there is no harm in it, but it is better not to say this. I mean, it is better for us to express it as the Salaf expressed it. The Salaf were more reverent toward the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions than we are, and yet they did not say "Our Master, the Messenger of Allah," nor "Lady Aisha" or "Lady Khadijah." Yes.

The questioner : Now, "Mr. So-and-so" and "Mr. So-and-so" is written on office desks, and it is not added to them, so this does not fall under general nobility.

The Shaykh : By Allah, if they intended the meaning, there is no doubt, but some of them intend merely the name. Now, there are people who use "Sayyid" as a proper name,

The questioner : No, no, the owners are not just for relaxation.

The Shaykh : "Sir So-and-so" means by way of honor, except that it is prohibited. It is said that this term is not fitting except for Allah (Mighty and Majestic).

The questioner : Naming a man "Blessed" is widespread.

The Shaykh : And they use it in their work. Naming a man "Blessed." Huh? Yes, a name like Muhammad, like Salih.
