🔺Some fatawah regarding naming of children in Islam

Answer Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah: There is an excellent book by Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd, entitled Tasmiyat al-Mawlood (Naming your Newborn), in which he mentions important matters that have to do with this topic, as well as listing names. What we advise you to do is to look for names that are liked in Islam, such as ‘Abd-Allaah and ‘Abd al-Rahmaan, and other names of male and female Sahaabah, or names that are known to the Arabs. Such names are many, and there is no need to invent new names which may lead to a man doing something wrong without realizing it. Shaykh Sa’d al-Humayd It is indeed strange that a man would choose the names of places of worship or places where rituals are performed, as names for his children. If we were to go along with this idea, we would say, call your daughters Makkah, Muzdalifah and ‘Arafaah! Do not do this; instead choose well known names that are Islamically acceptable, such as the names that the Sahaabah, the salaf (early generations) and the scholars gave to their children. May Allaah bless us and you with righteous children, for He is the one who hears our prayers. https://islamqa.info/en/answers/10345/he-wants-to-call-his-son-or-daughter-arafaah-or-mina

"What is apparent from the Fatwa of the Permanent Committee of Iftaa’ in Saudi Arabia in an answer to a question about calling a Muslim by Benjamin, Peter and John is that they (the members of the Committee) see that such names are peculiar to the non-Muslims. Their answer reads: “This act (calling by such names) is not permissible because it is imitating the non-Muslims in their names, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” Therefore, it is an obligation to avoid calling by these foreign names, even if it is done jokingly.” If this is the case for just calling someone by these names, so what about naming with them?" https://www.islamweb.net/amp/en/fatwa/179059/ See also: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/200765/is-it-permissible-to-call-a-child-binyameen

⚠️Giving children western names in order to avoid racial discrimination Question 126428 My husband and I will be blessed with a baby boy soon inshallah. We have been discussing names since our marriage three years ago and could not seem to agree. My husband, an Arab, would like to name his children English names because of the society we live in. Through his experience, he is afraid that his children will be limited / discriminated against in their abilities in life (specifically Job opportunities) due to stereotyping / racism in North America. I am a non-Arab and would like to name our children Arabic names because they are beautiful and I believe it will keep them connected with their cultures and religion. Although I understand my husbands concerns completely, I am afraid that giving them purely English names would encourage complete assimilation into the Western culture. I requested that he selects a name that sounds English but is Arabic … he seemed okay with it, but always returns with English names such as Daniel! I do not want to push him into naming our child something he will not like. We have compromised on a name which is an Arabic word and an English name: “Dean”. Is this name okay to name a baby boy?. Answer Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah: Firstly: We were happy to read what you said about Arabic names connecting a person to his origins and reducing his assimilation into western society. Hence you should adhere to this view and choose a good name which will show that the child is a Muslim, because this is part of the identity to which he must adhere and preserve. With regard to what your husband said about jobs and racial stereotyping, although your husband has some justification for that, it is not as strong an argument as the fear of the evil of assimilation into society and loss of identity, and being deprived of the opportunity to show one’s Islam openly and call people to it. This is what a person should be keen to do and hope that his children will be callers to their religion, adhering to it and feeling proud of their values and origins. Moreover, no one knows the future except Allaah. Reality today indicates that Islam is spreading quickly and is advancing in those societies, praise be to Allaah. Our advice is to choose a good name for your son from among well known Muslim names such as Muhammad, Ahmad and ‘Abd al-Rahmaan. Every person has a share of his name. Muslim (2132) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The most beloved of your names to Allaah are ‘Abd-Allaah and ‘Abd al-Rahmaan.” https://islamqa.info/en/answers/126428/giving-children-western-names-in-order-to-avoid-racial-discrimination

How to name a child in Islam The basic principle concerning names is that they are permissible, but there are some matters which are prohibited according to the Shari`ah and should be avoided when choosing names. These include the following: ◽️Enslavement to or worship of anything other than Allah, including prophets and angels. It is not permissible to be enslaved to or to worship anyone or anything other than Allah at all. Among the names which express enslavement to or worship of anything other than Allah are ‘Abd al-Rasul (“slave of the Messenger”), ‘Abd al-Nabi (“slave of the Prophet”) and ‘Abd al-Amier (slave of the prince) and other names which imply worship of or submission to anything other than Allah. The person who has a name like this must change it. The great Sahabi ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My name was ‘Abd ‘Amr – or according to one report, ‘Abd al-Ka’bah – and when I became Muslim, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called me ‘Abd al-Rahman. (Narrated by al-Hakim, 3/306. Al-Dhahabi agreed with him) ◽️Names of Allah which are befitting only for Him , may He be glorified, such as al-Khaliq (the Creator), al-Raziq (the Provider), al-Rabb (the Lord), al-Rahman (the Most Merciful), etc., which are names that befit only Allah; names which describe attributes which are true only of Allah, such as Malik al-Muluk (King of kings), al-Qahir (the Subduer), etc. It is haram to call people by these names, and they must be changed. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Do you know of any who is similar to Him?” [Maryam 19:65]. ◽️Names that belong exclusively to the disbelievers and are not used by anyone else, such as ‘Abd al-Masih (“slave of the Messiah”), Butrous (Peter), Jurjus (George), and other names which denote religions of disbelief. ◽️Names of idols and false gods which are worshipped instead of Allah, such as naming someone after a devil and so on. It is not permissible to call people after the names referred to above; indeed, doing so is haram and anyone who has such a name is obliged to change it.

"As regards your question; it is disliked to name a child with the name Yaaseen as it is a name of one chapter of the Quran. Ibn Rushd said: 'I asked Imaam Maalik : "Can any person be named with the name Yaaseen?, and he replied: ''I don't think that a person should be named with this name as Allaah Says (what means): {Yaa, Seen. By the wise Quran. Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers.}[Quran 36:1-3].' Similarly, naming with the name Taaha is also disliked. Allaah Knows best." https://www.islamweb.net/amp/en/fatwa/93757/

#NEW | The Dove of the Prophet's ﷺ Mosque | Shaykh Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

#NEW | The Dove of the Prophet's ﷺ Mosque | Shaykh Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى) Around 45 years ago, a young Shaykh Ahmad (حفظه الله تعالى) competed live on a show and won against several Huffādh in Bilād Al-Ḥaramayn. It was recorded as part of a popular television program. We were overjoyed to find this footage of him and share it as an example of, وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ فِي عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ “A young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah.” (Among the seven types of people that will be shaded by Allah by His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade except His Shade.
