Is it permissible to name a commercial store that sells school supplies, gifts, and computers "Al-Habib" (The Beloved) or "Misk al-Khitam" (Musk of the Seal), or any other name attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him?

There is no objection to naming a shop "Al-Habib Bookstore" or "Misk Al-Khitam Shop" and similar names that are attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as there is no prohibition or denigration in them. However, it is preferable to avoid naming with names specific to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, such as "Seal of the Prophets," due to the potential for these names to be exposed to denigration in papers and transactions, and because we are commanded to honor and revere him, as stated in His Almighty saying: "That you may believe in Allah and His Messenger and honor him and revere him and exalt Him morning and afternoon."
