If there is ambiguity in a name, it is preferable to remove it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: O Shaykh, my name is Sabri and my father's name is 'Abd and my grandfather's name is Drouish, and when I write my name like this: Sabri 'Abd Drouish, many people told me: that this is not permissible; because the name 'Abd like this is not established, and I faced many criticisms in Jordan and Saudi Arabia regarding this name, knowing O Shaykh that I read a hadith about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Musnad Ahmad 35, 36Hasan (35) . And I read in the Sunan of al-Tirmidhi in the chain of one of the hadiths 'Abd ibn 'Abd, and as is well known, there is a Musnad named Musnad 'Abd ibn Humayd . And the people's objection is that the name 'Abd followed by Drouish is an error, and as you know O Shaykh that the names of Allah come with the definite article (al) like 'Abd al-Wahhab, 'Abd Allah, 'Abd al-Sami', 'Abd al-Qadir .. and so on. The question O Shaykh: Is there an error in my name like this: ( Sabri 'Abd Drouish )? So I ask you for a fatwa to be a guide for me, or that I change the name fundamentally.
A: There is no harm in the mentioned name, so it is not obligatory to change it, and it is preferable, if possible, that the name be written as: Sabri ibn 'Abd ibn Drouish; so that the ambiguity is removed.
Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm 'Abd.
من أراد أن يقرأ القرآن غضًا طريًا فليقرأه على قراءة ابن أم عبدA: There is no harm in the mentioned name, so it is not obligatory to change it, and it is preferable, if possible, that the name be written as: Sabri ibn 'Abd ibn Drouish; so that the ambiguity is removed.
