Question:
This clarifies his previous question. He says: We have a women's center or a men's center for memorizing the Qur'an. We name it Dar al-Qur'an, Dar al-Nur, or Dar al-Islam. Is this appropriate or not?
Answer:
If it is a charitable center, a center for memorizing the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with calling it Dar al-Qur'an, meaning a Qur'an memorization center. In fact, naming it Dar al-Qur'an memorization center would be better. As for Dar al-Nur, considering that the Qur'an is light, there is nothing wrong with that. However, naming a photography studio "Al-Haramayn Studio" or "Makkah Studio" or "Madinah Studio"—that is what is not permissible. Naming things by their opposites is not allowed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
