The ruling on naming children Mubarak or Mubarak and saying so-and-so brought a blessing

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to name sons Mubarak or Mazlum? And is it permissible to name a man and say about him, "So-and-so brought a blessing," or "Our blessing," or "You brought us a blessing with your arrival"?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with any of this. One may name a child Mubarak, or Mubarak, there is nothing wrong with that. It is a matter of optimism, like Salih. One may name a child Salih, as a matter of optimism. Fahl, all of these we hear as expressions of optimism: Mubarak, Mubarak, Fahl, Muflih. These are names that contain optimism and hope in Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). "So-and-so" means that the blessing came with him; there is nothing wrong with that. This is a matter of optimism. What is forbidden is saying, "So-and-so is a blessing for us," or "A blessing for us," or "Blessing." The word "Tibarak" (blessing) is not to be used for anyone except Allah alone. As for saying "So-and-so is Mubarak" or "So-and-so brings a blessing to so-and-so," meaning they pray for a blessing for him, or "he blesses him," provided it does not contradict [the meaning of Tawhid], all of this is correct usage. Yes. Is that clear? "Our neighbor is a blessing" does not contradict [the rules]; it is a form of interaction. Yes, indeed.

The questioner:
Of course, my brother, it is summer.

The Shaykh:
Barakah and Mubarak, there is nothing wrong with any of this. Yes.
