The Ruling on Being Named Mukhtar, Mujtaba, and Murtada
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on being named Mukhtar, Mujtaba, and Murtada, and does it contain self-praise?
Answer:
This is not appropriate, and it contains a type of self-praise. It is not appropriate, but it is not forbidden. One may be named Salih, Fahil, or so-and-so; there is nothing wrong with that, as a form of optimism.
