Is it permissible for a woman to call her husband's older brother by his first name without titles, and is it valid to cite as evidence that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to call his paternal uncle and paternal aunt by their names to permit this, and if that is valid, is it permissible for me to call any elder by his name without sin?
It is not forbidden to call an elder by his name, and there is no sin in doing so. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, called his uncle Al-Abbas and his aunt Safiyyah by their names. However, if custom considers calling an elder by his name to be disrespectful, then this custom should be observed to avoid harm.
