The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on naming a child with names like Mut'ib, Taha, and Yasin?
The Shaykh:
No, Mut'ib is not a good name. Mut'ib is not a good name. There is a better name than Mut'ib. Mut'ib means it tires people out. Yes.
The questioner:
He asks about Taha and Yasin.
The Shaykh:
These are not names. These are disjointed letters. Taha is disjointed letters, and Yasin is disjointed letters at the beginnings of surahs. But people have made them into names. They are not names. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
They are among the names of the Messenger, after all. The Messenger’s name is Taha or his name is Yasin; this is a mistake. Yes.
