The questioner says: Shaykh, some fathers choose unusual names for their sons and daughters?
The Shaykh:
And what is an example?
The presenter:
He chooses questions, meaning, they may be difficult to pronounce and so on, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged choosing good, pleasant names, and forbade naming a person as a servant of anyone other than Allah, such as 'Abd al-Amir, 'Abd al-Husayn, 'Abd al-'Uzza, 'Abd al-Amanat, or the like, whether referring to idols or persons. It is not permissible to be a servant of anyone but Allah. As for everything else, a name that contains a good meaning is pleasant, and a name that contains a bad meaning is not permissible to use.
