Taking the name of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) when eating or drinking

Q: Can we take name of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) while eating or drinking or after drinking milk, or must our mouth be totally clean?

A: It is permissible. Like it is permissible to take the name of Allah Ta`ala, so too is the taking of the name of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
