Naming commercial establishments after scholars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to name commercial establishments after the great scholars?
Answer:
It is a second benefit for them, a beauty for the scholars, and they take its rent and profit. This is a good custom. As for merely naming it after his name, that has no merit. Name it after your own name, so-and-so’s shop and so-and-so’s shop. Yes.
