If the intent here concerning the attribution is lineage, then it is not permissible due to the Almighty's saying: "Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah.

However, if the intent is that it is according to his method, approach, and , then there is no harm in that, just as it is said "Muhammadan day" or "so-and-so is Muhammadan," meaning from the followers of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and this has been mentioned in the books of the people of knowledge.
