Is it permissible to address the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by his name?

Question:
Yes, yes. May Allah have mercy on you. Your Eminence, the father, says: The questioner asks whether it is permissible to address the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by his name only, as it was said, "O Muhammad" or "O Abu al-Qasim"? Is this not a form of addressing him? And how do we reconcile this with the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when they said to him, "You are our master," and he said, "Say as you say"? Is there a contradiction between them?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) never addressed His Prophet by his name; rather, He addressed him by his prophethood: "O you who are the Prophet," "O you who are the Messenger," "O you who are the Prophet." Meanwhile, He addressed the prophets before him by their names: "O Musa," "O Adam," "O Nuh." He addressed the prophets by their names, but our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not addressed by his name, out of honor and respect for him; rather, he is addressed by the name of prophethood and messengership. As for the context of informing, Allah mentions his name when He informs about him; He mentioned his name (peace and blessings be upon him) in . This is in the context of informing. This is in the context of informing, not in the context of addressing. The etiquette is to say, "O Messenger of Allah" or "O Prophet of Allah," and not to say, "O Muhammad" or "O Abu al-Qasim." Rather, one says, "O Prophet of Allah" or "O Messenger of Allah." Yes.
