Naming a newborn after his deceased brother

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I have a child and Allah takes him after his birth, and then another child is born after him, is it permissible for me to name the second one with the same name as the first?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, yes.
