Question:
Some people are named Muhammad or Abdulaziz, yet they say, "Call me by the name of a disbeliever's player." Is this permissible, and is it imitating the disbelievers?
Answer:
Answer: This is a form of frivolity. He says, "Do not call me by my name; call me by the name of a disbeliever, by a player's name." This is frivolity—may Allah protect us from it—and it is serious. He must repent to Allah for this speech.
