What is the ruling on abbreviating the name Muhammad when writing it in English as "Mohd"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If it is customary among English writers to abbreviate the name of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and there is no denigration of his right therein, and the name is distinguished by mentioning peace and blessings upon him in a way that the intended meaning is understood and his right is given, then there is no harm in that.
