The ruling on believing in the blessing of naming a child Muhammad or Ahmad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, people believe that naming a child Muhammad or Ahmad brings blessing upon the household, and that if you do not name with these two names, the opposite will happen to you.
Answer:
This belief is permissible; this belief is not permissible. Al-Busiri says, "Indeed, I have a pledge from Him by my naming myself Muhammad, and He is the most faithful of creation to pledges." He says that the name Muhammad is sufficient, for it is the name of the Messenger, so we have no need for anything else. This is an exaggeration, and may Allah protect us from it.
