The Ruling on Nicknames
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is a nickname part of the Sunnah? A nickname?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible, but it is not obligatory.
The questioner:
No, that does not happen.
The Shaykh:
Greeting is fine if it is the closest thing to another. From Your Eminence now.
