The Naming with Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He informed them and added something, and it is better for you to put it down while you are [there].

Answer:
What is the origin of Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin? They are not names; they are disjointed letters. Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin are the disjointed letters with which the beginnings of the surahs start. But people have made them into names. They are not names in the original sense, but there is no harm in it. There is no obstacle to the one who names [a child] Ta-Ha or names [a child] Ya-Sin. We do not know of any obstacle to this. However, they even claim that among the names of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is Ya-Sin, and that it is one of his names. This is an error; this is not among the names of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
