Naming a Son After the Grandfather If the Father Refuses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I would like to name my young son after my father, but the father refused to do so.

Answer:
Do not name him after his name. If the father does not wish it, do not name him in a way that might anger the father. There are many names, praise be to Allah, and there is no need for your father's name. Yes.
