Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on naming a child Malak or Abrar?
Answer:
Malak is the name of the angel. Malak is the angel. It is not permissible to name a girl with the name of an angel, because this rivals the statement of the polytheists who made the angels daughters of Allah. The angels are exalted and magnified above such a thing. As for the second, Abrar, I do not know what prevents this. I do not prohibit it. I do not know, or I do not know what prevents this thing. Yes.
