Naming a child Mus'ud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 14134 )
Q1: A man has a son named Mus'ud, meaning: his father named him this because the child's father had the kunya Abu Mus'ud before this child was born to him. So when
he was blessed with this son, he insisted on naming him Mus'ud and actually did so. However, this man's relatives did not like the name and nicknamed the boy Madahi, which compelled us to refer to your eminence to ask which is better, Madahi or Mus'ud? Knowing that he is registered in the civil registry under the name Mus'ud. Please issue a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
A1: There is no harm in naming a man's son Mus'ud, as there is no prohibition in doing so. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
