The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a man to address his father by his kunya if his father does not dislike this matter?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it; in fact, this is a matter of showing respect. He says to his father, "O Abu So-and-so," as a way of showing him respect and honor. Yes.
The questioner:
You.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
