Naming sons after their parents and its relation to dutifulness toward them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is naming a son or daughter after their parents a form of dutifulness toward them? And is it permissible for me to disobey them if they order me to do so?
Answer:
Do not disobey them if they ask you to name your son and daughter after them, or if they order you to do something permissible. Even if you do not obey them, it will cause some resentment and discomfort in their hearts. The matter is easy in this regard. Name him after your mother and name him after your father. This is a way of keeping their memory alive. Also, this preserves the family name. It preserves the family name.
For families are not known except by their names: the sons of so-and-so and the sons of so-and-so. But now, people are named Hani, and I do not know who Hani is, or Maher, and names that are not in our lands. These have not preserved the family names. People no longer recognize one another, and it is not known where Maher is from? Where is Hani from? But if he were named after his family, he would be known. So I advise that these imported customs be abandoned, and that they be named after their fathers, mothers, and families, and the names known in their land. Yes.
