What is the ruling on naming a newborn Al-Qasim and taking the kunya of Abu Al-Qasim?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The best names for boys are the names of the prophets, the companions, and the righteous. The name "Al-Qasim" is one of the names of the Prophet's children (peace be upon him), so it is good to name with it. There is no harm in using the kunya "Abu Al-Qasim".
