The ruling on using the kunya Abu al-Qasim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it prohibited to use the kunya Abu al-Qasim in our present time?
Answer:
No, after his death (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no prohibition. The Messenger prohibited it during his lifetime so that the Messenger's kunya would not be confused with the kunya of someone else. They would say, "O Qasim," and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn around, only to find that they were addressing someone else. So he prohibited that.Sunan Ibn Majah 3735Sahih (Darussalam) This was during his lifetime (peace and blessings be upon him). As for after his death, the concern is gone.

Call yourselves by my name but do not call yourselves by my Kunyah.
