Question:
Answer:
The Jurist have regarded a woman’s calling her husband by his name Makrooh (odious) due to it being regarded as disrespectful in their time and according to their custom. However, if the husband prefers to be called by his name, or according to the custom the wife calls the husband by his name and the husband also does not feel insulted then it will not be Makrooh (odious).
If the wife does not wish to call the husband by his name then she should say: “Abu Muhammad” (the father of Muhammad) or according to what ever the child’s name may be.
