The ruling on naming a child al-Qasim and using the kunyah Abu al-Qasim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: Is it permissible for me to name my eldest son al-Qasim so that my kunyah would be Abu al-Qasim?

Answer:
The prohibition was only during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said, "Do not take my name as your name, and do not use my kunyah as your kunyah," because one man called his son "O Abu al-Qasim," and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) turned around, thinking he was being addressed. The prohibition ended when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. Yes. It is permissible to take that name. Yes.
