Naming with Hadi
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 16840 )
Q: I inform your Eminence that my name is (Hadi), and I have heard from some scholars that it is not permissible for me to have this name, since al-Hadi is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and I do not intend anything by this name, nor did my father who named me intend anything. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good, is there any blame on me, and am I obligated to change my name? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
A: We do not know of any legal impediment to naming with this name. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
