The Ruling on Naming Mosques After Men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is there a prohibition against naming mosques after the names of men?

Answer:
There is nothing preventing it. It can be called the Mosque of Abu Bakr, the Mosque of 'Umar, or the Sunnah Mosque, so that it is known and distinguished from others. There is nothing wrong with that.
