Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on someone who faces a specific person whose name he does not know and says to him, "O Muhammad"?
The Shaykh:
He should not say to him, "O Muhammad," when he does not know whether his name is Muhammad or not. Rather, he should say, "O my brother," or say to him, "O my brother," "O brother." Yes.
