The ruling on naming children with names from the Qur'an, such as Afnan, Iman, and Bayan, and others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Some people name their sons and daughters, taking these names from some of the verses of the Qur'an. Is this permissible?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. One may name a child Afnan, or Bayan, or Iman, or something similar. There is no harm in that, because the default is permissibility. Whoever claims that something of this is prohibited must provide evidence. Yes.
