Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He asks: Is it permissible to name a child Abrar or Ibtihal?
Answer:
This will come up, if Allah wills. The girl’s name was Bara; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed her name because this is a form of self-praise. As it comes, if a name contains self-praise, it is disliked. Yes.
